Superb for breakfast on the deck

To make six servings:

• 2½ lb REAL Canadian Bacon chub roast
• 1/8 cup maple syrup
• ½ tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
• ¼ tsp cinnamon

Cut REAL Canadian Bacon chub roast in half lengthwise. Place each thick slice on hot lightly greased grill 4 to 5 inches over low moderate coals. Barbecue, turning with tongs, for 20 minutes on each side. Combine maple syrup, lemon juice and cinnamon. Continue to barbecue bacon, brushing with maple syrup mixture and turning often, for 20 minutes longer. Cut each thick slice in diagonal slices across the grain to serve. If bacon is cooked with cover of barbecue closed, cooking time will be reduced by 15 to 20 minutes.

REAL Canadian Bacon Glazed Roast

Score the top of a five pound REAL Canadian Bacon roast in diamonds, as you would a ham. Set on a rack in a greased shallow pan. Sprinkle with lemon juice, stud top symmetrically with seven or so cloves. Make a paste of 3 tablespoons pineapple jam, 1 teaspoon dry mustard and 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs or flour. Spread this over top of roast. Pour about ½ cup fruit juice into the pan. Bake at 325° F for approximately 1½ to 1¾ hours (166° F internal temperature). Baste with pan liquid often. Add a few tablespoons boiling water during the cooking if pan seems dry.

REAL Canadian Bacon Classic Whole Roast

So easy and quick to prepare, this makes an attractive and delicious meal to serve with scalloped potatoes and baked acorn squash.

• 5 lb unsliced REAL Canadian Bacon whole roast
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup apple juice
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tsp dry mustard

Cut roast into thin slices, then reassemble into original form by tying together with butcher's twine. Place on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake in a 350° F oven for 1 hour. Pour ¼ cup water into the pan to prevent bacon drying out. Combine maple syrup, apple juice, lemon juice, flour and mustard in a small saucepan; mix well. Heat to boiling. Remove bacon from oven. Brush maple syrup mixture over bacon and drizzle some between the slices. Return to oven for approximately 20 to 25 minutes (166° F internal temperature) and baste occasionally with remaining glaze. Place on a platter. Cut string, then pull it away carefully to allow slices to fall neatly in a domino effect along the platter. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
