“Apple bacon shallot jam” sounds like something the Dead came up with in '74. (During the Wall of Sound tours… sorry, hippie tangent there.) But it's not a 20-minute noodle session; it's a terrific melding of some of the best culinary forces. Apple butter and shallot come together to form a rich, buttery sweetness and a few onion notes. And the bacon… well, it brings home the bacon. Slather this on a succulent pork chop and what a long, delicious trip this has been. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
