I’ve been wanting to make this for a long time so this was the day. I used store bought, didn’t realize I had eaten my last bag of bacon. I did these in the roaster oven. I used a mixture of  75% turninado sugar and 25% rub. I covered one side very liberal and started at 200° for 1 hour, then took a paper towel and soaked up some of the grease. Then I coated again cranked it up to 350 ° and kept adding until I had a good coat and the bacon was crisp. I’m not a big fan of sweets but these are stinkin good. I can’t wait to try it with homemade bacon. Enjoy

Sure you can sub........can you find demerara (florida crystals) or piloncillo (mexican cane in a hard packed cone shape) ???

Both are healthier than white or brown and have a unique flavor that processed sugars do not have...the piloncillo is somewhat difficult to use because it has to be grated to separate from the cone.
