- Yield: 4-6 1x
Ingredients
For the cherry tomato jam
- 1 pound heirloom cherry tomatoes (I used multi colored)
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cinnamon stick
For the smoky candied bacon
For the burgers
- 4–6 beef burger patties
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 bundle of arugula, washed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- pinch of salt
- pinch of freshly cracked pink peppercorns
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in for the cherry tomato jam in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, until mixture is reduced and thick, almost a jam consistency. Once reduced, remove the cinnamon stick and use an immersion blender a couple times just to break down any whole tomato pieces.
- While the tomato jam is reducing, make the candied bacon then set aside.
- Lastly, sprinkle eat burger patty with garlic powder, onion powder and salt on both sides of the burger. Grease a grill or grill pan then place each burger on the grill to cook for 5-6 minutes per side, for medium rare.
- In a bowl, toss together arugula, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Prepare burgers: top each burger with the tomato jam, then candied bacon on top, and the arugula to finish!

I’ve really been craving burgers lately and these look amazing! Plus, the multi-colored heirloom cherry tomatoes are my favorite summer treat. Juicy burgers with tomato jam?! I’m all in! 🙂

No need to take off the skin?
I’m assuming you mean the tomatoes? Juli left the skin on. If you’d prefer it off, don’t see why that wouldn’t work too! Stacy – paleOMG assistant
Looks amazing, but what’s a good substitute for the coconut sugar? Hate coconut, I could taste a drop in the ocean.
You could use maple or date sugar! Stacy – paleOMG assistant
