Lacquered Bacon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup mango chutney (any large chunks chopped)
1/4 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons yellow mustard or 2 tablespoons brown mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
12 slices thick bacon (good quality)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0.
In a bowl, stir the chutney, juice, mustard, and vinegar together.
Place the bacon in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake the bacon 10-12 minutes or until it begins to look opaque and the fat begins to render; pour off any accumulated drippings.
Turn over the bacon and brush about one half of the glaze on each slice.
Return bacon to oven and cook 3-4 minutes.
Remove bacon from oven, turn it over again, and brush it with the remaining glaze.
Return bacon to oven for 3-5 minutes, until well browned and firm (with the glaze coating, the bacon gets chewy and crunchy but stays short of crisp).
If you want to drain the bacon, do it on a rack instead of paper towels to avoid wiping off the glaze.
Serve warm.
