Instructions
 

  • Cut 1 lb of maple bacon into lardons and cook until crisp. Cook bacon in 2 batches. Remove bacon from skillet and drain bacon fat. Return pan to LOW HEAT and deglaze with 2 tablespoons of Maple Bourbon. Add the remainder of the Bourbon and continue to deglaze. This won’t take long. Maybe 30 seconds.
