Ingredients

12 ounces Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Bacon chopped
1/2 pound shallots peeled and roughly chopped
10 ounces Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Mission Figs stemmed and chopped
2 1/4 tsp salt kosher
1 dash black pepper
2 tsp sherry vinegar (or 1 teaspoon each Champagne vinegar and balsamic vinegar)

Instructions

Cook the bacon until crispy. Reserve bacon fat.
Transfer bacon grease to your electric pressure cooker and turn onto Saute feature, stirring figs and shallots for 6 minutes. Crumble the bacon into the pot and stir together.
Cover and set the release valve to seal, cooking on high pressure for 3 minutes. Carefully adjust the release valve to vent. Once the steam has fully escaped, open the pressure cooker and stir.
Stir in the vinegar. Transfer the fig bacon mixture to a food processor and pulse until chunky for more of a relish or about 10 pulses for jam. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
