Yields10 ServingsPrep Time10 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time20 mins
½cupSteen's Pure Cane Syrup
½cupBrazos Valley Vodka Smoked Maple Bacon Vodka
½tspcayenne pepper
10applewood smoked bacon
black pepper, coarse ground
10ozPickled Watermelon Rind, reserving syrup
30toothpicks, soaked for two hours
dusting Bayou Sam's Triple Blast
1
In a small saucepan, bring Steen's and Brazos Vodka to a boil, whisk in cayenne well (this amount will definitely bring the heat, consider reducing) then reduce to a simmer. Reduce by 1/2 or thickened good. Let cool completely, chill in fridge.
2
Third the bacon strips, then separate and sprinkle with pepper.
3
Remove cubes saving syrup for basting along with reduction. Cubes should be approximately 1/4x1/2x1 inch. (I make some bigger and some smaller so guests can pick what they like.)
4
Place rind on end of bacon then roll up, secure with toothpick.
(TIP: soak toothpicks in 1/2 water, 1/2 Maple Vodka)
5
When finished with all, dust to taste with Triple Blast good. Very light drizzle of the Steen's reduction and watermelon syrup.
6
On a foil lined sheet pan with Pam'd Bradley rack, roast at 425° 5-8 minutes, rotating and lightly basting. Or until bacon is done.
(TIP: place reduction and splash of syrup in a small squirt bottle and just put a dab on each
OR
7
Dual zone grill at 450°, place off direct heat about 4-9 minutes. Lightly basting and rotating pan.
8
Remove and serve Hot! But don't tell any of your guests what Plantation Hors D'oeuvres are. Let them guess!
