Bacon Chops with a Cider Glaze Recipe
Bacon chops are essentially thick-cut pieces of back bacon, and they are as magical as they sound! These are brushed with a light brown sugar and cider glaze with a little whole grain mustard and quickly cooked under the grill.

Ingredients
- 2 Smoked Bacon Chops
For the Cider Glaze:
- 330 ml Dry Cider 1 Small Bottle
- 2 Star Anise
- 35 g Brown Sugar ¼ Cup
- 1 tablespoon Wholegrain Mustard
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Begin by turning your grill (broiler) up as high as it will go.
- Pour the cider into a small (15cm or 6") saucepan and add the star anise. Reduce over a high heat to 75ml or ⅓ Cup. This will take around 10 minutes over a high heat.
- Add the brown sugar, salt and mustard and cook until it forms a syrup. This will take around 5 minutes.
- Brush the bacon chops with the glaze and then place them on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Baking parchment is usually "fire safe" up to 220°C (420°F), but if you are worried, use tin foil instead.
- Slide them under the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side.
Notes
Make sure that the internal temperature of the bacon reaches at least 62°C or 145°F before serving.
