10 Servings 30 min Cook
1/2 Cup packed Brown Sugar
8 Oz Bacon
Cook bacon in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning over once, until bacon is lightly browned on edges but still flexible, 5 to 6 minutes total per batch.
Transfer bacon as cooked to paper towels to drain.
Pour off fat from skillet and arrange bacon in skillet in 1 layer.
Sprinkle sugar over bacon and cook over low heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until sugar is dissolved, caramelized (sugar melts very slowly and burns easily; reduce heat if necessary after sugar begins to caramelize), and coats bacon, 8 to 10 minutes.
(Bacon will be dark and look lacquered.
) Transfer bacon with tongs to brown paper to cool.
