Not only is it a perfect addition to the burger, it's also perfect for serving on a cheese platter or the like.

I use larger pieces of bacon because I like it, but you can chop it finely if you want a smoother version. I also use slightly larger pieces of red onion for the same reason.

You can modify the recipe in many different ways - for example, add a little chili for heat, or use maple syrup instead of the dark syrup. Red onion can be replaced with shallots.
