"Chopping cooked bacon into soups, covering it with chocolate for a decadent dessert, or wrapping it around your favorite meats and vegetables for an unforgettable appetizer goes to show the versatility of this popular pork product. There are plenty of tips you need to cook the absolute best bacon, but the most important points of focus should be on taste and texture."
"Tart and bold, orange juice is an ideal marinade as well as the key to a perfect honey-brown sugar glaze. Considering how well its natural acidity works to tenderize meat, it's a great choice to enhance a slab of bacon. Whether you keep your glaze simple or dress it up with some added ingredients, starting with a base of orange juice is incredibly effective."
"To prepare an orange juice glaze to accommodate about a pound of bacon, combine fresh orange juice with pepper, ginger, Dijon mustard, and honey, and drizzle this mixture over each side of your bacon in the baking process. You can also try a more pared-down version using just orange juice and either brown sugar or honey. There's no limit to the uses for your delicious glazed bacon."
Orange juice functions as an ideal marinade and base for a honey-brown sugar glaze because its tartness and acidity tenderize meat. A mixture of fresh orange juice, pepper, ginger, Dijon mustard, and honey can be drizzled over both sides of bacon during baking to create a balanced tangy-sweet glaze. Simpler versions use just orange juice with brown sugar or honey. The glaze works for about a pound of bacon and adapts to candied-bacon techniques like maple-cinnamon preparations. Glazed bacon complements breakfast dishes, BLT sandwiches, and appetizers, and pairs well with eggs, potatoes, toast, and other meats or vegetables.
