Roughly chop the bacon rashers into small pieces – about 1cm squares. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and add the bacon. Fry the bacon until cooked through and lightly browned all over. Remove from the pan leaving the fat behind and set aside.
Step 2
Reduce the pan heat to low. Finely slice the garlic and the onion and add to the pan, frying gently until tender.
Step 3
Return the bacon to the pan along with the xylitol, paprika, cinnamon and the balsamic vinegar. Give everything a good stir to combine.
Step 4
Add the water to the pan and bring to the boil.
Step 5
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until sticky and caramelised.
