"I found this recipe in a little magazine that came to the house, and thought I'd share it with you - Serve this deliciously sweet and smoky whisky and onion jam with cold, smoked salmon and slices of toasted baguette. Wine lovers: try matching the contrasting character of the fish and jam with the robust, floral nature of a Gerwuztraminer. For the more adventerous set, offer Highland Park 12 Year Old - a rich, sweet and smoky island whisky."

I made this today but tweaked it a little. I started with 1/2 pound of bacon and used the bacon fat instead of olive oil. Set the bacon aside and continued recipe with maple balsamic vinegar instead of white and added a half cup of Jameson whiskey. (Just came back from Ireland.) After it was finished, I stirred in the crumbled bacon. Can't wait to try it on a pork tenderloin. It is yummy just plain.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
