Gingerbread Candied Bacon

Dec 5, 2014 · 21 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Gingerbread Candied Bacon is coated slightly coated with gingerbread syrup and then candied and baked to perfection and is brought to you courtesy of the amazing Lynn of Order in the Kitchen for this weeks’ Five Ingredient Friday.

When this post was originally published, Lynn was kind enough to guest post for me on a day that I was having a ton of computer issues.  If you’ve ever had computer issues when you’re on a deadline or in crunch time, you know how stressful it can get.  Well, Lynn saved my sanity that day and I was (and still am) so grateful to her.  Enjoy as Lynn shares how to make gingerbread candied bacon (how absolutely delicious does this sound?!)

Hi guys! Lynn Lovejoy from Order in the Kitchen here!  I’m a lawyer by day and food blogger by night and weekends! My food blog is my happy place where I combine my law books and my cookbooks to come up with healthy bites, tasty treats and simple recipes!  I’m excited to be doing my first guest post as part of Sweet Phi’s Five Ingredient Fridays Series!

Phi was dealing with way too much right now with old and new computers, Lightroom malfunctions, and all sorts of blog things that can make all of us a bit crazy sometimes!  So we were on the phone (per usual) trying to figure out how to get her stuff sorted out when we came up with the simple solution of guest posting! It made so much sense because Phi does Five Ingredient Friday and I do Fee SIMPLE Friday, so it’s almost like we were destined to be best friends (and to be there to help each other out of a bind!) Plus she really deserved a nice dinner date with her husband instead of a stressful evening of malfunctioning computers!

Phi will be back to her usual tricks in no time but I made bacon to tide you over…

Y’all let me tell you about this bacon!  It came about because I was making these Cinnamon Pumpkin Waffles with Bacon Maple Syrup (yum) and I just thought well why don’t I make some real bacon as well?  I still had lots of leftover Torani syrups from the nice care package I received, and decided to use the Gingerbread one to make candied bacon.

The results were nothing short of extraordinary, and the ingredients made for excellent pictures (also, this was my first weekend with my new DSLR so I’ve upgraded from using my iPhone you guys!)  It’s really my sister’s camera that she’s generously letting me borrow but still…it’s “my new camera” for the foreseeable future.  And I’m in love…

I mean OMG, I can’t even with these pictures.  I’m not bragging just so you guys know…I’m purely amazed by the difference between taking photos with a DSLR and taking photos with my iPhone.  My world has changed…for the better…infinitely.

Okay okay I’ll stop with the raw bacon pictures…  Moving on to the recipe and pictures of the cooked bacon!

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes minutes
Servings: 5 slices

Ingredients

  • 5 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 2-3 TBSP gingerbread syrup just enough to brush on each slice, you can use maple syrup as well if you prefer or don’t have flavored syrup
  • 2 TBSP brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375
  • Lay bacon strips out on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper
  • Brush each slice of bacon with the syrup (I did this by placing it in a small bowl and then used a pastry brush to brush it on)
  • Mix of the spices together in a bowl, then distribute that mixture evenly atop the 5 slices of bacon
  • Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until brown and crisp on the top
  • If necessary (it was for me), flip the slices over and bake an additional 3-5 minutes
  • Remove and let cool slightly before eating

    This is totally not a thing. No seriously, this can’t be a real thing. If it is, I am going to eat WAY more bacon than is probably smart. 😉
