Step one

Heat Dutch oven or high-sided skillet set over medium heat; cook bacon for about 10 minutes or until slightly browned at edges and fat starts to render. Remove all but 2 tbsp. (30 mL) fat from pan (reserve remaining bacon fat for another use or discard).
Step two

Stir in tomatoes, apple, red onion, brown sugar, vinegar, bourbon, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and cloves; bring to boil. Boil gently over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 50 minutes or until thickened to jam-like consistency. Let cool completely.
Step three

Refrigerate in airtight jar or container for up to 1 week.
