Candied Bacon

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C (conventional). In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and pepper. Place the bacon on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, then flip the bacon and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven and coat/brush both sides with the sugar mixture. Return the bacon to the oven and bake for 35 minutes, brushing with the sugar mixture every 5 minutes. Great as a party snack. Variation: Add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for extra pizzazz!
