Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brine

    In a large pot, combine 2 cups of water, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of maple syrup, 1 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of garlic powder, and 1 tsp of onion powder. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.

  2. 2

    Add Canadian Bacon

    Place the Canadian bacon in the pot with the brine. Ensure that the bacon is fully submerged. If necessary, place a plate on top to keep it submerged.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate

    Cover the pot and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse into the bacon.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 5

    Remove and Pat Dry

    After brining, remove the Canadian bacon from the pot and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  3. 6

    Bake the Canadian Bacon

    Place the Canadian bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.

  4. 7

    Let Rest and Slice

    Remove the bacon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
