Steps:

• Spray a non stick pan with cooking oil spray and fry the bacon over a medium heat until patched with brown in all the right places.
• Once it is to your liking, add the maple syrup to the pan and turn the bacon over in it for literally a minute or two until thickened, being very careful not to burn the syrup.
• Take off the heat immediately and serve.
