Equipment
- broiler pan or baking pan fitted with a wire rack
Ingredients
- 12 oz thick cut bacon
- ½ cup fig jam or preserves
- 1½ tablespoon finely diced fresh rosemary
- freshly ground black pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large broiler pan or baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil (for easier clean-up). You may need 2 baking sheets depending on your size.
- Place the bacon strips in the pan. Do not overlap. Brush each strip generously with the fig jam. Sprinkle the rosemary evenly over the slices. Grind some fresh pepper over the top, if using.
- Place in the oven at 375°F and cook for 35-45 minutes. Watch carefully for burning. Remove from the oven when the bacon is caramelized, and crispy around the edges. Let rest 5-7 minutes after removing to continue to crisp up. Serve immediately.
