I guess I should post the "recipe"

Basically, it is thick sliced bacon, covered with dark brown sugar and
smoked.

Originally (from what I can find) it is a cup of brown sugar to a pound of
bacon. Keep tossing the bacon in the sugar 'til all the brown sugar is used.
It'll seem like it'll never happen, but suddenly, you've got it.

More recently, a couple of teaspoons or even a couple of tablespoons of a
rub are added to the brown sugar first. Use whatever rub you think will
taste best to you.

I use a half sheet pan per pound (mostly because they fit well in my
smokers).

Yesterday's batch was three pounds of medium sliced (it was all I could get)
bacon, 3 pounds of dark brown sugar and 5 ounces of Sweet Orange Habanero
Rub mixed in a 2 gallon zip-lok bag 'til it's all gooey and all the bacon is
covered. Lay it out in the half-sheet pans (3 of them) and smoke @ about
225 for about 2-1/2 hours. It'll look like it isn't done, but it's cooked
to at least 180 or maybe even 200. Use lots of Hickory for the smoke

Like I said, it's great stuff.

sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And use the good bacon

I think Frank Mancuso did some of this recently and posted
pics in ABF.

I've used this many times. I think I got it from "Smoke & Spice."

Glazed bacon

6 slices bacon, preferably thick & smoky
1½ tbs honey or maple syrup
1½ tbs prepared mustard
½ tsp cider vinegar

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
½ 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.

I had some several years ago. Just tried making it about a year ago. Gets
better and easier each time. Never tried pressing the sugar in. Always let
it dissolve in the fat. Might just have to try your way.

Yep, but I think that I learned the secret...This time I used my Stump's
Tailgater. It's a water smoker, and I cooked the candy in half-sheet pans.
Kinda sits there in the sugary fat as it cooks.

And use the good bacon

Good and good and thick!

I believe that it was "Smoke & Spice"
That's good, too, but it's not the same thing. Mine's unsmoked bacon in the
beginning, and only dark brown sugar and a little rub added for a little
heat/kick. I use lots of hickory. No "blue smoke" here.

You need to make some, unless that much sugar would kill you.

Some people have reported problems getting alt.binaries.food with
Vista and Windows Mail. I tried it and it worked fine for me using
the SBC/Prodigy/AT&T servers, but a handful of others said they
can't get it (using Vista + Windows Mail).

Some of them switched to Windows Live Mail, which does work for ABF.
And even other switched to Thunderbird or Seamonkey. You really
need to dump those newfangled MS products...

I'm not allergic to sugar. No need to get feisty, Jill.

Geeze that sucks. I just checked and its coming through fine on my
AT&T-Pakistan account.

news.kc.sbcglobal.net, using OE, is working fine for that NG.

As far as newfangled MS stuff, I have one puter on XP pro and one on 2000
Pro. They have their shortcomings, but I have the bugs worked out for my
purposes and I know they won't render my hardware useless. With the
exception of that bug infested disease magnet IE, of course, which is
banished from my empire. I figure Vista will be ready for me about 2010.
Like all MS newest releases, you can either climb the steep lard-greased
learning curve pole to reliability, or wait for the curve to lower itself
down to where it belongs.

Get yourself a "FREE ACCOUNT" with Teranews. Onetimesignup fee of
$4.00/US. It get's you something like 80Mb/day download and all the upload
you want. Instant access to ABF and all other binary groups. I've had it as
a backup account for several years. My NewsReader is configured to scan
it as well as my primary ISP. Over the years, I have had trouble with
various
ISP's. DirecPC originally had newsgroups, but subsequently discontinued
them. For awhile )back in '03 AirNews refused to carry ABF for lack of
a proper birth certificate. TeraNews has always saved the day. It ain't
perfect. It is what it is. But, it's worth every penny it costs.
