This has been well received here, used in a vinaigrette for a wilted
salad.

Glazed bacon
[ . . . ]
Thanks, Nick. I'm gonna make that!

Here's the whole recipe for Wilted salad, Wayne:

Glazed bacon

6 slices bacon, preferably thick & smoky
1-1/2 tbs honey or maple syrup1-1/2 tbs prepared mustard
1/2 tsp cider vinegar

Bacon vinaigrette dressing

1/2 cup rendered bacon fat plus EVOO
3 garlic clove, minced
3 tbs cider vinegar1 tbs honey or maple syrup
salt & fresh-ground black pepper to taste

10 to 12 cups torn leaf lettuce (2 to 3 Romaines)

Preheat oven to 325° F.
Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a baking sheet with sides. Bake
for
10 minutes. Pour off and reserve all rendered fat.

In a small bowl, mix the honey or maple syrup, mustard and vinegar.
Spread
1/2 the mixture over the bacon and bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Turn the
bacon
over and spread it with the remaining syrup mixture. Bake another 6 to 7
minutes or until medium brown and crispy. Watch carefully for the last
few
minutes to avoid burning. Cool briefly, then chop or crumble.

Warm the bacon fat and oil mixture over medium heat in a small skillet.
Add
the garlic and sauté it briefly. Add the remaining dressing ingredients
and
heat, stirring, 'til the honey dissolves.

Place the greens in a salad bowl and pour the warm dressing over them.
Toss
lightly. Sprinkle the bacon over the salad and serve hot or at room
temperature.


Thanks, Nick. I'm looking forward to making this. My mom used to make
something similar with baby mustard greens.
