How to Make Bacon With Citrus Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice and 1/4 cup cane syrup.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens to a syrupy consistency that coats the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Arrange 1 pound of bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush half of the citrus glaze evenly over the bacon.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Brush the bacon with the remaining glaze.
  8. Continue baking until the bacon is golden brown and crisp, about 15-20 more minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  9. Transfer the bacon to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease before serving. Enjoy!
