Ingredients

• 1 lbs center cut thick cut bacon
• 1 C brown sugar
• 7 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 5 Tbsp maple syrup

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350
• Place a cooling rack in side a jelly roll pan (I put a silicone mat underneath to make clean up easier)
• Then lay out your bacon flat over the top (You can put them super close but NOT overlapping).
• Place it in the oven for 10 mins, then flip the bacon and cook another 5 mins.
• While thats cooking mix the brown sugar, maple syrup and rice vinegar.
• Pull out the bacon and brush the sugar coating onto it, then cook another 5 mins.
• Every 5 mins flip the bacon and brush on more coating.
• This took me anywhere from 8-10 flips, its slow coming up to cooked, but then it goes from perfect to burnt fast.
• It will still be SOFT when its done, so dont keep cooking until its crunchy or it will BURN.
• Go by looks, it will shrink a bit, the red will get dark, the edges will get crunchy.
• Leave them to cool and they will harden up!
• Serve by itself, in cupcakes, on top of ice cream or anywhere your brave enough to try
