INGREDIENTS:

4 Impossible Burgers

2 Tbsp Milford Spice Up North Grilling Spice

2 pretzel buns

2 Tbsp garlic aioli (vegan or regular)

1 cup arugula

Red onion, sliced

1 cup tomato jam*

4 slices cheddar cheese (vegan or regular)

*For the Tomato Jam:

2 pounds plum or Roma tomatoes, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 Tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger (from 1-inch knob)

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

 DIRECTIONS:

For the Tomato Jam:

Combine all the ingredients in a Dutch oven. Place the tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, ginger, salt, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a 3- to 4-quart Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.

Simmer the jam until thickened, about 2 hours. Reduce the heat to medium and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until thick and jammy, about 2 hours. You'll know it's done when you scrape a spoon across the bottom of the pot and no liquid fills in the path.

Divide the jam between 2 (8-ounce) canning jars. Cool, then seal and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

For the burger:

Sprinkle 1/2 Tbsp on each side of the Impossible Burgers with Up North Grilling Spice and pat it in to make it stick.

On a hot skillet, slightly oiled, grill the burgers for 2-4 minutes per side.

In another pan, melt 1 Tbsp butter, and place each side of the pretzel buns, open side down, and let toast for 2 minutes.

In a bowl, add avocado, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp lemon juice and mash with a fork, leaving it a little chunky.  Set aside.

On both bottom pieces of the toast, spread the garlic aioli.  Top with 1/2 cup arugula.  Place one of the Impossible burgers, then the cheese, and top with the other burger, then another piece of cheese.  Add the avocado mash, then top with a few red onion rings.

On the top pieces of the pretzels buns, spread 1/2 cup of the tomato jam on each.  Place on top of the burgers to close it up.

Serve with fries or your choice of something delicious!
