The makers of Samuel Adams Boston Lager recently shared this recipe with me. I'm passing it along as it's so good and perfect to serve anytime of year but for a fall brunch or tailgate party it's ideal.
You don't need to be a beer lover to enjoy it, but then, why aren't you a beer lover?
Maple Pepper Bacon Strips with Boston Lager Glaze
16 slices thick cut bacon
1 cup honey
2 tablespoon grain Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 cup maple syrup
2 cups Samuel Adams Boston Lager
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lay bacon on sheet pan on parchment paper. Cover with one more sheet of parchment paper. Bake at 300 degrees for 14 to 15 minutes. Bring honey and maple syrup mixture to a boil. Caramelize. Add beer and reduce by half. Then add mustard. Take top sheet of parchment paper off bacon. Baste in honey mixture. Return bacon to oven and turn temperature to 275 degrees until bacon is crispy.
