Pig Candy? On ice cream? Why not! What is Pig Candy? Let me show you... ;)
First, you take bacon and place it in a plastic bag with brown sugar and the rub of your choice. Then, you toss it around and massage the bacon until it becomes a big sticky mess. Usually, it is about 1/2 cup or sugar to 1 tbsp of rub. This time, I used some of my homemade bacon and for the rub, I used Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head rub as I thought it would go well with the vanilla ice cream...
On to the smoker at 250 F...
30-40 minutes later you have Pig Candy...
It is basically crispy, candied bacon. It works as a good appetizer to keep the natives happy until dinner is ready. This stuff was chopped and used as a topping on ice cream...
A little bit a caramel, a little bit of fudge, a little bit of piggy sprinkles... It was great. The pineapple taste from the rub was perfect. I won't do this often, but I will be doing it again for sure.
Thanks for stopping by...
