Bacon, Vidalia, And Dried Plum Relish

• 1 1/2 pounds bacon
• 1 large vidalia onion (or 2 medium), thinly sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, halved
• 3/4 cup beer of your choice (I used Blue Moon)
• 1 cup prunes, pitted
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 bay leaf

1. Cut bacon in 1-inch pieces and throw in a large frying pan. Fry over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and put directly in a crockpot.
2. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add onions and garlic and cook until translucent. Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup beer. Simmer for about a minute. Add onion and garlic mixture to the crockpot, along with the bacon.
3. Add prunes, remaining beer, syrup, and spices to crockpot and stir. Cook on high for 3 hours.
4. Once done, discard bay leaf and transfer everything from the crockpot to a food processor and pulse until it's the consistency of a chunky salsa. Serve immediately over warm Camembert with crackers and bread.
5. Note: You could also spoon 1/2 cup of the relish over an uncut wheel of camembert and heat everything in a 350u0b0 F oven for about 20 minutes.
