From the Kitchen of Loretta Divoon... Candied Bacon aka The Husband Maker


1 pound of bacon
1.5 cups of maple syrup (the real stuff, no shitty table syrup)
3 tablespoons of dijon mustard

Mix maple syrup and dijon mustard together in a bowl. Pre-heat oven to 400. Lay bacon on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush maple syrup and dijon mustard mixture over bacon. Cook for 15 minutes and remove bacon from oven, flip over and brush the other side of the bacon with the maple syrup and dijon mixture. Put bacon back in the oven and cook for another 12-15 minutes or until bacon has reached desired crispiness.

Notes:
I showed this to a friend of mine and she was engaged within a month. This recipe is not to be used for evil, this bacon has powers. Serious, real powers. I like this instead of ham in an eggs benedict or instead of anything on a Sunday morning. You'll regret eating nothing but bacon for breakfast later, but that's later. If you try to use crappy corn based table syrup the sugar will just burn and no one will propose to anyone. Maybe he will, but it will be in spite of, not because of your bacon.
