Candied Pecan Bacon

- serves at least 8 -
Adapted from Pig: King of the Southern Table by James Villas.

Ingredients

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1 pound lean sliced bacon

Procedure

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. On a plate, combine the sugar, flour, and pecans and mix till well blended.
3. Lightly dredge the bacon slices in the mixture, arrange the slices close together on a broiler pan, and bake till browned and almost but not quite crisp, about 30 minutes. Drain on paper towels, break each slice in half, and serve at room temperature with cocktails.I acknowledge that there IS a measure of sugar in it, but if one sticks to the suggested serving size (haha), it would be one sixteenth of a cup of brown sugar.
