Bacon Skewers With Brown Sugar Glaze Recipes

BACON SKEWERS WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a lipped baking pan with foil (it's important that it is lipped) and put a metal rack on top if using one.
• n a small mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, apple juice and cinnamon. Set aside. The sugar will settle to become more liquid within a few minutes.
• Take the bacon from the package and thread the bacon onto the skewers. Set the bacon skewers evenly onto the foiled lined baking sheet. Take a spoon, fork or basting brush and spread a generous amount of the glaze on each side of the bacon skewers. Make sure to get each side so that the whole bacon skewer is covered.
• Place the baking sheet into the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until your bacon is cooked to your liking. 20 minutes should get them nice and crisped up.
• Take the bacon skewers out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
• Serve on a platter or my favorite... in a vase as a centerpiece. Enjoy!

BROWN-SUGAR-GLAZED BACON

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in top third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place large rack on lined baking sheet. Arrange bacon slices in single layer on rack. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over. Bake until bacon is crisp and glazed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and serve.

BROWN SUGAR SMOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut bacon into thirds and wrap each strip around a little sausage. Place the wrapped sausages on wooden skewers, several to a skewer. Arrange the skewers on a baking sheet and sprinkle them liberally with brown sugar.
• Bake until bacon is crisp and the brown sugar melted.

CURLY CANDIED BACON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Put a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Cut the bacon slices in half. Fold each half of the bacon in an "S" pattern upon itself a few times and thread each one onto a wooden skewer.
• Place the bacon skewers on the prepared wire rack.
• Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture on the bacon skewers.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the skewers and sprinkle on some more of the sugar mixture. Cook for 20 minutes more.
• Remove the bacon skewers from the oven and flip them over. Taste one skewer. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of the remaining spice mixture on the bacon skewers.
• Serve the skewers just as they are or add on garnishes, such as olives and cherry tomatoes, before popping them in your cocktail!

BROWN SUGAR-CINNAMON BACON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
• Lay strips of bacon flat and rub with half the sugar mixture.
• Turn strips over and repeat with the remaining sugar mixture.
• Wrap each piece of bacon tightly around a skewer.
• Transfer to the broiler pan (do not use a cookie sheet, it will not work).
• Bake until crisp and a lovely brown, about 20-25 minutes. No oven temp was given in the book but I'd say @350 until golden.
• Transfer bacon to a wire rack.
• These can be served warm or at room temperature. Arrange in a napkin-lined basket for a nice presentation.
