It is off...I made candied bacon for Christmas eve. It is officially a new family tradition. There's no nutritional rationale for eating candied bacon - it is pure delight and comfort. The 4 people (including me) knew they shouldn't eat it but we couldn't stop, and we ate a full pound of bacon in mere minutes. I think it's just the thing for a holiday tradition - for health reasons I'll limit it to once a year!<br /><br />After 35 minutes of basting every 5 minutes at 350F my bacon wasn't browning. My oven thermometer said the temp dropped to near 300, I'm assuming from opening the door so often. I cranked the temp up to 375F, as I've seen other recipes recommend 400F for bacon, and I also left the bacon in for 7 minutes per side and it came out perfect.<br /><br />Way to go Chef!Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-52997256294246623732010-12-14T21:56:22.843-05:002010-12-14T21:56:22.843-05:00:-) yes, it would.:-) yes, it would.Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-64628290210035204962010-12-14T21:08:12.238-05:002010-12-14T21:08:12.238-05:00I made this recipe for my girlfriend's office ...I made this recipe for my girlfriend's office party tomorrow.

I tucked that one away for later: <i>Nyquil glazed bacon? Might work...</i> but after commingling with all that bubbling bacon fat, a marvelous, transcendental transformation took place.<br /><br />It's a tragedy that pork is neither kosher nor halal, because in my heart of hearts I believe this <i>amuse bouche</i> would bring peace to the Middle East.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12297446657314042486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-77520671201768214902010-11-25T21:49:37.985-05:002010-11-25T21:49:37.985-05:00That's great!!

So far it's amazing. I have had to make a little more syrup mixture than I calculated- maybe I'm just being to messy and it's running off the edges or putting too much on, but it's sooooo good. Hope it's as good tomorrow!<br /><br />Just curious, what function does the vinegar serve? Just to cut the sweetness a little?

I used Kroger brand thick cut (on sale, buy one get one free) and trimmed the ends to fit the pan. Then your Eggs Benedict - fantastic. Made the eggs in advance per your instructions and stored overnight in the frig. Practiced the hollandaise the day before then made up a 1 ½ X the recipe just before plating up - perfect.
