Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Candied Bacon

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay bacon slices on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with brown sugar, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes until crispy.

   In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha together until well combined. Set aside.

   Smoke the Huckleberries

   Place huckleberries in a smoker or on a grill with wood chips for about 20-30 minutes until they become soft and infused with smoke flavor.
