Lloyd's Batch Candied Bacon
This candied bacon recipe started with a conversation with Lloyd's "Uncle Al" Dombek. The conversation began with a description of Al's new maple syrup, and ended with a lot of whiskey talk. The whiskey talk ended up at a story about my favorite cocktail, a Old Fashioned made with maple syrup and candided bacon. Al delivered the maple syrup the next morning for a Blueberry Pancake Breakfast, but I was already trying to figure out how to use his maple syrup for candied bacon and an Old Fashioned. What follows is Part One. Part two will be Lloyd's Batch Old Fashioned, a fantastic cocktail featuring maple syrup and candied bacon.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat Oven to 350°
- 2
Combine ingredients into a bowl and mix.
- 3
Line a baking sheet with tinfoil and place cooling rack on tinfoil. Arrange bacon on rack to maximize space.
- 4
Bake bacon for 10 minutes. Flip bacon and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- 5
Brush bacon on both sides with Lloyd's mixture. Bake bacon for 5 minutes. Repeat until mixture is gone.
- 6
Bacon will become darker and stickier with every coat of glaze. Once the mixture is gone you'll want to continue baking for an additional 5-15 minutes, flipping it once to allow excess glaze to drip off.
- 7
Allow bacon to cool for five minutes. Carefully remove the bacon off the cooling rack and transfer to a separate cooling area. Allow to cool for an additional 5-20 minutes. Serve immediately or foil and refrigerate for later. Can be stored for up to 2 weeks. Can be microwaved for a short time to return gloss to bacon.

Applewood Smoked Buckboard Bacon Applewood Smoked Buckboard Bacon
Buckboard bacon is made from pork shoulder rather than pork belly. Early American pioneers made it often. Sometimes you will see it called pioneer bacon, or homesteader bacon, but basically we're talking about a piece of pork other than the belly, which is cured and smoked. During America’s colonial and pioneer eras, when many of our regional cuisines were in the early stages of development, salt curing was essential for preserving foods and, thus, was in high demand. To protect meat from insects and other animals during the curing process, some cultures learned to suspend it in the smoke of a fire. Although slightly changed today, this recipe demonstrates both methods of early meat preservation.
