Candied bacon
Yes you read that right this recipe is for candied bacon. I am a firm believer bacon can go into anything (including ice cream). The inspiration for this is from David Lebovitz’s experiment with this (click here to read his entry). I was going to try and use and experiment with mascavo sugar but unfortunately I used my last bit for glazed ribs so I was stuck with brown sugar.
For this recipe you need:
- Thick cut good quality bacon
- Brown sugar (about 1/4 cup per 1/4 lb)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Coat the bacon in the brown sugar and place in an oven proof dish. Place the dish in the oven and cook till the bacon is dark from the sugar and crispy (about 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness). Flip the bacon about halfway through cooking.
Once it is crispy remove from the oven and transfer to wax paper to cool.
Grab a piece and enjoy its candy bacony goodness.
I tried to make the bacon and it came out perfect! It goes good with breakfast or anytime for a bacon feen like you.
I am going to have to try this as well.
