Ingredients

  • 1 whole piece peameal bacon (2.5 - 3 pounds/1-1.4kg)
    ½ cup (120ml) maple syrup
    2 tablespoons (30ml) grainy Dijon mustard
    2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary

Method

Preheat the oven to 350° F (176°C).

Place the peameal bacon roast on a cutting board cornmeal or fat side up.  Using a sharp chef knife, cut diagonally across the top about 1/2 inch (1.27cm)  in depth, 1 inch (2.54cm) apart.  Slightly turn the peameal and cut diagonally at 90 degrees to resemble a diamond pattern.

Combine the maple syrup and Dijon mustard.  Place the peameal bacon in a baking dish and brush the top of the roast with the maple/mustard mixture. Place sprigs of fresh rosemary on top.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.  Remove the foil and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes allowing the glaze to caramelize.  The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).  

Remove from the oven when done and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
