Bacon Infused Bourbon Food

HONEY-BOURBON GLAZED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the honey and bourbon in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Lay the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes. Brush with some of the honey-bourbon syrup. Continue roasting until deeply caramelized and crispy, another 10 to 15 minutes--the bacon will really crisp as it cools. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and serve.

BACON INFUSED BOURBON WHISKEY RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Step 1: Cook About 3/4lb Bacon Do yourself a favor, eat all of the bacon that you just cooked in one sitting. Revenge might be a dish best served cold, but bacon is not. Step 2: Save 1/2 Cup Rendered Bacon Fat Step 3: Pour Bourbon Into Mason Jar(s) Step 4: Pour Bacon Grease Over The Bourbon Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup or a tablespoon to scoop the rendered bacon fat out of its container. A half cup=8tbsp. Add the grease to a pan and turn the range on low heat. When the fat liquefies, use an oven mitten to pour the bacon grease from the pan into the mason jar that contains your bourbon. Step 5: Cap Mason Jar, Shake, Store In Cabinet This is a step that other "How to make bacon infused bourbon" recipes get wrong. Store the mix at room temperature (or slightly higher). I shook the mason jar violently every time I walked into the kitchen, you can do it every 4-6 hours. Step 6: Put Mason Jar In Fridge After 48+ Hours Two days of infusing should be plenty, but I waited 3 just to be safe. On the third day, put your mixture in the fridge. Step 8: Filter Bacon Grease Using Coffee Drip After about an hour in the fridge, all of the bacon fat should have coagulated into an easy to remove clump. Scoop out the clumped fat and do with it what you wish. It was painful for me to do, but I disposed of it :'( Filter out the residual fat by pouring the mix through a coffee drip/filter into another container.
