• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Add onion and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Add sugar, apricots, vinegar, and 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil, stirring. Add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf and simmer until liquid is syrupy, 8-10 minutes. Remove herb sprigs and let bacon mixture cool. Transfer to food processor and pulse to a chunky purée.

Steps:

• In a large (12 inches or wider) frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until crisp.

Add the Brussels sprouts, keeping them in a single layer as much as possible. Having a few extra sprouts is fine, but if they are mounded in a pile, they will not brown or cook evenly. If necessary, use a larger pan, cook them in two batches, or pull out the extra for another use. Stir in the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and well browned-even charred in spots. If the sprouts are browning too quickly, lower the heat to medium.
