Ingredients
  • Bacon -- extra thick cut
  • Honey or Syrup, or Sugar ( esp brown )
  • Nuts ( Optional ), chopped pecans or almonds

Directions
  1. On a rack over a baking pan, Ilay the bacon out flat, single layer, not touching.
  2. About 45 minutes at 250F leaves behind a pan full of bacon fat and strips of bacon that feel like pig-flavored wisps; very light.
  3. The strips have had virtually all the fat rendered.
  4. Next, out of the oven and pour off the fat (to save for another
  5. day).
  6. Loosen the strips from the rack (if necessary) and either pile with brown sugar or trickle a generous amount of honey along their lengths.
  7. Back into the oven to let the sweetness melt into the bacon.
  8. Maybe 1/2 hour this time.
  9. Note other recipes use 350F for 30 minutes and some say the nuts don't stick too well. See ideas in the description section above

Sweet, smoky, salty, and DELISH!!!!!!!


Oh man, I love bacon appetizers like this - the sweet bacon in contrast to the salty bacon is just so good - like the addition of nuts in this one, too. More protein! Thanks for the reminder of such an easy appetzer that is absolutely addictive...Krum
