Did anyone see Alton Brown make his version of pig candy tonight? Brown sugar and pecans in a food processor and then coated the par cooked bacon. Called it praline bacon.
 
That sounds great! Pecans! Whodathunk? Oh yeah, AB would!:biggrin:
 
Did not see it, but want it.
 
maybe still a touch of cayenne? Sounds awesome, either way though.
 
As soon as he mentioned bacon, I was waiting for him to call it pig candy. :mrgreen: But he didn't. :evil:
 
Here call it Praline bacon:

Ingredients

  • 1 pound thick cut bacon
  • 2 1/2 ounces light brown sugar, about 6 tablespoons
  • 1 1/2 ounces pecan halves
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.


Line a half sheet pan with aluminum foil. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a cooling rack, and set it in the prepared sheet pan. Bake until the bacon browns and the fat is rendered and bubbly. About 30 to 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar and pecans in a small food processor. Pulse about 15 times or until the pecans are finely chopped.

Remove the bacon from the oven, sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture, and pat down to adhere. Return to the oven a bake until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes.

Cool on the rack for 10 minutes before serving.
