Yields10 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time20 mins
 ½ cup Steen's Pure Cane Syrup
 ½ cup Brazos Valley Vodka Smoked Maple Bacon Vodka
 ½ tsp cayenne pepper
 10 applewood smoked bacon
 black pepper, coarse ground
 10 oz Pickled Watermelon Rind, reserving syrup
 30 toothpicks, 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!
