Remove jars and place on clean towel to cool.

BLT with Red Onion Jam

BLT's are a favorite at my house so for my Foodie Blogroll JOUST I decided to remain true to my canning roots and prepare my version of the classic BLT with a homemade Red Onion Jam.
The combination of the tart apple and the sweet savory blend of the jam with the smokey bacon, is a delicious union of flavors!

The criteria: Cook a dish with a local beer or wine, tomato paste and honey!!

Local wine choice: Aspen Peak Cellars, Conifer Red
