Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the slab bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Glaze the Bacon

    In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup and black pepper. Brush the mixture generously over the slab bacon.

  3. 3

    Bake the Bacon

    Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is crispy and caramelized, basting with the remaining glaze halfway through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Topping

    While the bacon is baking, chop the smoked pecans coarsely and set aside.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the bacon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the bacon into thick pieces, serve with apricot chutney and sprinkle the smoked pecans on top.
