Strawberry Candied Bacon
This sweet and savory Strawberry Candied Bacon will be a delight to your taste buds- Bacon sweetened with strawberry jam and baked to crispy perfection!
Last month I spent some time in in sunny California (read more about my AMAZING California Strawberries Farm Tour here). I guess you could say that I was inspired by all things strawberry! Everything I ate had some strawberry spin on it. And strawberries are healthy so I’m pretty sure I ate health food all weekend.
Nevermind that I had fresh herbs and farmers cheese stuffed strawberries rolled in pecan bacon dust,
peanut butter, strawberry jam, and bacon Kobe slider served on brioche with waffle fries and strawberry ketchup,
and Salted Caramel Bacon Strawberry Brownies among other such health foods.
Anybody else sensing this strawberry bacon theme?
I just couldn’t help myself. The first moment I had some bacon in the house I ran to the kitchen to make strawberry candied bacon! I have never done the whole bacon-in-dessert thing until just now (I’m a late-bloomer). Oh you must try it- you MUST!
And with that toast and a drippy egg? What have I done?!
PS: My mom immediately wanted to chop it up and tuck it into her bacon beans recipe <— can you even?!

Wouldn’t you know it? I have genius friends too- check out my friend Jenny of Picky Palate’s raspberry version. I was so happy to see that we’re on the same page! 🙂

I am totally sending this to my Canadian father in law who swears by strawberry jam and bacon on toast. You just wrapped it all into one mind-blowing sweet/savory/bacony package. Daughter-in-law of the year if I make this for him? I say yes.

There are people out there who don’t like strawberries!?!?!?!! 😉
Oh no you didn’t! I love candied bacon, but this?! This takes it even one step further on the delicious scale. Maybe as an ice cream topping?? YUM!

Ooooh now you’re talking! I couldn’t stop from snacking on it straight up but I’m SO trying ice cream next time! Flat out genius.
Oh, what???!!! You are pure evil in the most delightful way!
Come back to California soon! 🙂
