Method:

- Add the chopped onions and the garlic and fry until soft.
- Now return the bacon to the pan and add all the other ingredients. Bring to a boil then lower the temperature to medium and cook for about 2 hours, or until the liquid has almost disappeared.
- Blend the mixture in a food processor and bottle in sterilised jars.
