05 Feb This Valentine’s Day: Say “I Love You” with Bacon…

On Valentine’s Day flowers make a nice gift to the friend that needs a smile or for that special someone in your life. Roses are even better. But sometimes even roses don’t cut it. Sometimes you need something to really tell a person just how much they mean to you…something extraordinary. Sometimes, you just need BACON.

Upon first glance, these flowers look like real varigated roses, which are nice enough on their own, until you discover that they are in fact edible curls of delicious, crispy, rendered, thick cut bacon. Basically, bacon roses are the gift that keeps giving.

How to make Bacon Roses

For the best results, look for fake roses that have a larger and higher calyx (the green part that cradles the rose), because this will hold the bacon in place a little better.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 x pack Thick cut bacon
  • 1 x bunch fake roses
  • toothpicks

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375
  2. Start by tearing off the flower petals until you’re left with a bare, empty stem. If possible, push the calyx down the stem to reveal a little more of a wire/stem for the bacon roll to sit on.
  3. Take a strip of bacon, and starting at one end, roll it up tightly to form a rosette. Secure the roll with two toothpicks, as close to the bottom of one end as you can, to form a cross. Place the rose on a wire rack on top of a foil lined tray. Repeat with all the bacon.
  4. Place tray of bacon rolls into the oven, and bake 45-55 minutes, until they are well cooked and have a good color. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  5. Once cool, take each roll and wiggle it onto a stem. Repeat until the whole bunch is complete.
  6. Give it to someone you love, or sit there and eat them yourself!

Broadbent B&B Foods

Broadbent B & B Foods, have been producing Old Fashioned Country Hams since 1909. A Truly American Food that has been on this continent since colonial days, it was a staple that sustained many of our first settlers as they moved west. The climate had to be just right to cure hams in the days before electricity, and Kentucky's climate fit the bill! Therefore, the Broadbent family brought those traditions with them and used them to dry cure and preserve their pork. Today, we are still dry curing Country Ham, Bacon, and Sausage like our forefathers did. In modern cuisine, country ham is far from a Staple. It is found on the menus of ritzy restaurants across The United States. While it is still, in fact, Country Ham, it is often cut paper thin, and labelled as Prosciutto; which is used as the center piece for many Charcuterie Boards.
