WHISKEY & MAPLE GLAZED SLAB BACON

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a Jelly Roll pan with foil for easy clean up. Place slab of bacon in center of pan, fatty side up. With a sharp knife cut cross every 1", about 1/2" deep..Then turn and cut across again, so it looks like tic tac toe, only with a lot of lines...
• 2. Drizzle maple syrup over top and rub in, you want it to get in those cuts. Then repeat with 1/2 cup whiskey glaze. Cover tightly with foil and bake for one hour. Remove from oven, reduce heat to 325. Turn slab over...brush or drizzle 1/2 cup or so of whiskey glaze over top, cover again with foil and bake another hour.
• 3. Remove from oven, allow to rest 10 minutes, remove foil, slice as desired (I did approx 3"x1" pieces), place in skillet over medium heat, drizzle with more glaze to coat all sides and warm through, sauce will thicken and caramelize as it heats. Be careful not to burn. Serve as desired. I served over polenta with a little dish of more whiskey sauce for dipping. ENJOY!!!
• 4. POLENTA: 3 c milk, 1 1/4 c cream, 1/2 c butter, 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 1/2 c corn meal... Butter or spray a 9x13 pan, set aside. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring milk, cream, salt and sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally. When it starts to boil, slowly sprinkle in corn meal while briskly whisking the whole time, until all corn meal has been incorporated. Continue to whisk until thickened. Then pour into prepared pan. Set aside to cool. When cool cut into servings. Warm slightly before serving. May be stored in refrigerator for up to a week.

CRISPY BACON

Steps:

• Put the bacon in a non-stick frying pan in a single layer. Top with another heavy pan or frying pan that fits snugly into the pan on top of the bacon. If it's not very heavy, top with another pan, or anything heatproof and weighty.
• Fry on a medium-low heat for 10-15 mins until golden and super-crispy. Check the bacon halfway through cooking - increase the heat slightly if there's lots of liquid in the pan, and flip the bacon over. Keep cooking until the bacon is uniformly golden and crisp.
