Harmon's Honey-Cured Bacon, Thick Slice
What it is
This is a package of thick-cut bacon that has been cured with honey. The curing process involves preserving the pork belly with salt and sugar, and in this case, honey is added to impart a subtle sweetness and distinct flavor. The thick slicing means each piece is substantial, offering a satisfying chew and a good amount of meat relative to fat. It comes ready to cook and is a popular choice for breakfast and other meals.
How people cook with it
This bacon is a versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into many dishes.
- Crispy breakfast side
- Sandwich topping
- Salad enhancement
- Flavorful addition to cooked dishes
To prepare, place the bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until it reaches your desired level of crispness. For less mess, you can bake the bacon on a rack over a baking sheet in a preheated oven until it is done. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease before serving or adding to other recipes. The rendered fat can be saved for future cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
The thick slicing distinguishes this bacon from thinner cuts, which tend to become very crisp and brittle when cooked. The honey cure provides a mild sweetness that balances the saltiness, unlike un-cured or traditionally cured bacons that may have a more purely savory profile.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and substantial bacon for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
