Big Wonderful WyomingBacon or Pork Belly my way Candied Hot pork
The recipe is the same, it just depends on cooking time.
Pre-heat oven to about 350-400 (every oven and altitude cooks differently, those that cook all the time know what I mean).
In a gallon bag place several cups of brown sugar (broken up) one cup of white sugar (or unrefined is best) and a table spoon of black pepper and a table spoon of red chili powder.
Place your sliced pork belly or bacon slices loosely in the bag and shake until well covered.
Place the pieces of meat evenly on a cookie tin (covered with baking paper) and into the oven for about 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on cooking time for your oven and how thick the bacon or pork belly is).
Cook until you are happy with the doneness of the meat.
My kids lose their minds over this, I do about 1/10th the spice on their portions.

hivelosityNow you got me thinking.
I do a candy bacon as well.
Thick sliced bacon, brown sugar and Vinegar.
Mix the sugar and vinegar and make a paste
lay out on a sheet and coat the bacon with the mix. put it in the smoker for a few hours or until the doneness you like.
now I am going to have to add red pepper as well.

BobsterDamn! I bet that would be great with a deer/elk tenderloin slice in the middle. A few minutes in the smoker sounds good to me too.

Big Wonderful WyomingHmm Vinegar? Nice idea.
Was thinking of mixture of brown sugar and maple surup.
