Pimento Chèvre

1. Mix all the ingredients together until the chèvre has a light red hue and are fully blended.
2. Season to taste with salt.

Burger Sauce

1. Whisk all the ingredients in a bowl together and season to your liking.

Bacon Jam

1. In a medium sauce pot, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally till the bacon becomes slightly brown (about 8 minutes). Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.
2. Add the chopped onions and continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally until the onions become translucent (about 6 minutes).
3. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup and molasses and cook over low heat, while stirring, until all the sugar has dissolved and it forms a nice syrup.
4. Once the “syrup” begins to bubble, slowly stream in the apple cider vinegar, worcestershire sauce, and tabasco and bring to a slow simmer.
5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer very slowly, stirring occasionally for about 15-20 minutes.
6. Season the jam to taste and cool. The jam should be served at room temperature.

Ground Beef Patty

1. Season each patty with salt and pepper and either grill or pan sear to your desired temperature.
