Roasted sugary rum bacon

  • 1-kg piece peameal bacon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Cooking Tip:

Basting a peameal roast (best known as Canadian bacon) with a sugar rum coating infuses delicious flavour and you will get to skip the tedious task of frying slices of bacon by popping the full roast in the oven instead. This stress-free brunch main course is a reader favorite.
