Man Candy Candied Bacon Nuts Recipe 435

CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix brown sugar, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and black pepper in a small bowl.
• Place bacon slices on cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, turn slices, and bake another 5 minutes.
• Remove bacon and brush both sides with brown sugar mixture. Return bacon to the oven and bake another 5 minutes. Repeat basting every 5 minutes until bacon is browned and crisp, about 35 minutes.

CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put bacon slices in a bowl, season them with pepper and toss with the brown sugar. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil and arrange the bacon in a single layer on top. Sprinkle any sugar left in the bowl over the bacon. Top with another layer of parchment or foil and top it, squarely, with another baking sheet. The baking sheet will flatten the bacon as it cooks.
• Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the bacon by lifting the top tray and parchment. If it is not golden brown and fairly crispy, resist the temptation to turn up the oven temperature, and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Check it again. Keep in mind that when you remove the tray and transfer the bacon to a serving platter or individual plates, the bacon will "crisp" up a little more. Be patient!

MAN CANDY (CANDIED BACON & NUTS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Prepare the nuts: In a mixing bowl, stir together all the Candied Nuts ingredients EXCEPT for the pecans and walnuts; add the pecans and walnuts and stir until coated. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Prepare the bacon: Place the chopped bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (I chopped it with kitchen shears.) Place in oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until bacon is about two-thirds done and fat is rendered. Remove bacon with a slotted spatula to paper towels to drain. Remove foil from baking sheet, then line it with parchment paper. Meanwhile, in another bowl, stir together the Candied Bacon ingredients (excluding the cooked bacon); stir in cooked bacon until coated. Add the bacon mixture to the nut mixture, stirring together lightly. Spread the mixture evenly onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and bacon is done. (After it came out of the oven, I used a thin metal spatula to flip the mixture over to evenly distribute the glaze.) Cool in pan on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Cook bacon in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning over once, until bacon is lightly browned on edges but still flexible, 5 to 6 minutes total per batch. Transfer bacon as cooked to paper towels to drain.
• Pour off fat from skillet and arrange bacon in skillet in 1 layer. Sprinkle Demerara sugar over bacon and cook over low heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until sugar is dissolved, caramelized (sugar melts very slowly and burns easily; reduce heat if necessary after sugar begins to caramelize), and coats bacon, 8 to 10 minutes. (Bacon will be dark and look lacquered.) Transfer bacon with tongs to brown paper to cool.
