It's fun to have one over-the-top appetizer that's easy to prepare. You can make my WHISKEY SPIKED MAPLE BACON several days in advance then warm them up in the microwave or have them coming out of the oven as your guests arrive. The smell of the bacon glazing will have your company drooling but make sure you let the bacon cool slightly before serving.

Instructions

  1. Small 107439 2f2015 02 12 135751 b%2bwhiskey%2blaced%2bmaple%2bbacon%2b005

    Preheat oven to 350°

  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. - it’ll make your clean-up so much easier! Place a rack the same size on top of parchment.

  3. Small 107439 2f2015 02 12 135655 c%2bwhiskey%2blaced%2bmaple%2bbacon%2b006

    Mix together the maple sugar and whiskey. I used the bottom of a small glass to crush the maple cream. Sprinkle the bacon, on both sides with the black pepper.

  4. Lay bacon on rack – don’t worry if the bacon overlaps, it shrinks as it cooks. Place in preheated oven for 10 minutes.

    Remove from oven and paint bacon on top side with whiskey mixture. Place back in oven for 15 minutes.

  6. Small 107439 2f2015 02 12 135854 d%2bwhiskey%2blaced%2bmaple%2bbacon%2b012

    Repeat paint process on the other side and bake for another 15 minutes or until bacon is golden and crispy.
