Maple Bourbon Bacon [RECIPE]

12 slices bacon

2 tbsps. Rave Review! Original Culinary Bourbon (or regular Bourbon)

2 tbsps. water

½ cup maple syrup

Directions:

In a large sauté pan over med-low heat, render the bacon until it turns very crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside, on a plate covered with paper towels. Discard any remaining fat and deglaze the pan with the Rave Review! Original Culinary Bourbon and 2 tbsps. of water. Swirl in the maple syrup, and raise the heat to medium. Bring the syrup to a hard simmer until it reaches 240 degrees, then return the bacon to the pan and coat with syrup. Remove the pan from the heat, and lay bacon out on a non-stick cookie sheet. Let cool to room temperature, then serve.
