Slow Candied Bacon

Posted December 28, 2014 5:01 am

1¼ cups packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon ground mace

20 ounces thick-cut bacon

Heat the oven to 250 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, red pepper flakes and mace. Arrange the bacon in a single layer in the prepared baking sheet. The bacon can touch, but should not overlap. Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon, covering all the slices. Bake for 2 hours.

Allow the bacon to rest for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container between sheets of kitchen parchment or wax paper.

Serves 10.
