...Candied Bacon with Whipped Cream Dip
I found this Candied Bacon recipe in the New York Times today. Bacon, candy. What’s not to like?
To make it at home, fry a pound of bacon until crisp. Drain and cool. In a clean skillet, melt one cup sugar and three tablespoons honey in two tablespoons water; cook on medium-high until bubbles subside and syrup turns light amber.
Turn heat to very low and add bacon, turning strips with tongs. Place strips on oiled baking sheet or parchment paper until cool, then serve with whipped cream or, better still (but too fancy for the Hog Pit), crème fraîche.
Attempt #1 - too much sugar. The bacon strips turned into HARD candy.
