Brown Sugar Cinnamon Bacon Skewers Food

CURLY CANDIED BACON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Put a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Cut the bacon slices in half. Fold each half of the bacon in an "S" pattern upon itself a few times and thread each one onto a wooden skewer.
• Place the bacon skewers on the prepared wire rack.
• Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture on the bacon skewers.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the skewers and sprinkle on some more of the sugar mixture. Cook for 20 minutes more.
• Remove the bacon skewers from the oven and flip them over. Taste one skewer. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of the remaining spice mixture on the bacon skewers.
• Serve the skewers just as they are or add on garnishes, such as olives and cherry tomatoes, before popping them in your cocktail!

BACON SKEWERS WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Line a lipped baking pan with foil (it's important that it is lipped) and put a metal rack on top if using one.
• n a small mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, apple juice and cinnamon. Set aside. The sugar will settle to become more liquid within a few minutes.
• Take the bacon from the package and thread the bacon onto the skewers. Set the bacon skewers evenly onto the foiled lined baking sheet. Take a spoon, fork or basting brush and spread a generous amount of the glaze on each side of the bacon skewers. Make sure to get each side so that the whole bacon skewer is covered.
• Place the baking sheet into the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until your bacon is cooked to your liking. 20 minutes should get them nice and crisped up.
• Take the bacon skewers out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
• Serve on a platter or my favorite... in a vase as a centerpiece. Enjoy!

CARAMELIZED BACON TWISTS
