Bacon Caramel Recipe

Bacon Caramel Recipe

  • Simple Syrup:
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups strained bacon fat, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  1. Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat to make simple syrup. Bring to a boil and cook until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly, 7 to 10 minutes.
  2. Combine simple syrup, bacon fat, molasses, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring frequently, until a thick syrup forms, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour syrup into a freezer-safe container.
  3. Freeze until syrup sets, 1 to 2 hours. Slice into individual caramels and wrap in waxed paper.
