Bacon sandwich, a British breakfast staple, consists of cooked bacon
between two bread slices sometimes spread with butter. Other seasoning
and sauces may be added based on taste preference. In the United
Kingdom, the sandwich is known as a bacon butty.

Title: The Ultimate Bacon Butty
Categories: Breads, Pork, Vegetables
Yield: 2

MMMMM--------------------------KETCHUP-------------------------------
6 md Tomatoes; fine chopped
1 md Apple; fine chopped
1/2 md Yellow onion; fine chopped
4 oz White wine vinegar
4 tb Brown sugar
2 Cloves
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper

MMMMM-------------------------SANDWICH-------------------------------
4 sl White sandwich bread
8 sl Dry-cured, unsmoked, back
- bacon
Butter; salted

Take all the ingredients for the ketchup, and put them
into a saucepan.

Bring to the boil, and reduce to a very slow simmer.

Simmer, covered, for two hours.

CHEF'S TIP: If you have your temperature low enough, you
shouldn't have a problem; however, if it looks like it's
drying out, add a bit of water now and then.

Remove ketchup from the heat, fish out and throw away
the cloves, and place into a storage container. Cover
and refrigerate until needed.

CHEF'S NOTE: Not all prefer this sandwich with ketchup;
many like a good brown sauce.

In a large skillet (preferably cast iron) cook the
bacon, over high heat, about three minutes on each side.
The slices should be cooked until nice and crispy.

CHEF'S NOTE: The bacon is what makes this dish... you
need good, thick bacon, preferably dry cured, unsmoked,
back bacon. That's something that's common in the UK,
but not so much over here.

While the bacon is cooking, toast and butter the bread
slices.

Remove the bacon from the pan, and reserve.

With the pan still on the heat, take the toasted,
buttered bread slices, and put them in the pan and allow
them to absorb the bacon fat. Cook for about 30 seconds
on each side.

CHEF'S NOTE: This is your test of bravery... Bacon...
toast with butter... and now bacon fat on the toast...
WOW.

Spread the homemade ketchup on two of the pieces of
buttered/bacon-fat bread, and then put half the bacon on
top. Add the top bread piece and serve hot.
