Ingredients
- 1 lb. Maple/Brown Sugar Thick Bacon
- 1/2 cup of Maple Syrup
- 1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup of Bourbon
- 1/2 tsp. of Cinnamon

Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 375°
2. Cook bacon until crisp (every microwave (bacon cooks flat in the microwave) is different, I cooked mine 5 minutes on high with 4 layers of paper towels beneath the bacon and on top of the beacon. I did not use a plate)
3. Line large cookie sheet with aluminum foil (my sheet hold 10 pieces of bacon, if you can’t fit all the bacon on the sheet you’ll have to reline the pan with aluminum foil after the first batch is cooked)
4. Place cooked bacon on the cookie sheet
5. In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, bourbon and cinnamon
6. On a low-medium heat and stir the mixture (I’ve never used a candy thermometer for this, I just eyeball it when it starts to get thick, but still loose enough to spread with a basting brush)
7. Baste the bacon on one side with the maple syrup mixture
8. Cook for 6 minutes
9. Flip bacon and baste with maple syrup mixture
10. Cook for 6 minutes
11. Flip bacon and baste with maple syrup mixture
12. Cook for 6 minutes
13. Flip bacon and baste with maple syrup mixture
14. Cook for 6 minutes
15. Remove bacon from cookie sheet and lay flat on another sheet of aluminum foil
16. Let cool for15 minutes
17. Break each piece of bacon in half
