    Title: Thick-Cut Bacon
    Categories: Five, Pork, Sauces
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 lb Bacon in 4 equal(ish) pieces
    1/2 c Packed brown sugar
    1 tb Dijon mustard
    1 ts Worcestershire sauce

    Set oven @ 425oF/220oC. Arrange the bacon pieces on a
    large sheet pan.

    In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar, mustard, and
    Worcestershire sauce over medium-low heat until a thick
    glaze forms. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

    Cook the bacon for 25 to 30 minutes, until beginning to
    turn golden but not completely cooked through. Remove
    from the oven and pour off the excess fat into a
    separate bowl.

    Brush each piece with a generous amount of the brown
    sugar mixture. Return bacon to the oven and cook for an
    additional 5 to 7 minutes, until bacon is golden and
    crisp. (Watch carefully; it can burn very quickly.)

    RECIPE NOTES: This recipe can be made using thick sliced
    bacon. Do not use thin bacon, it will burn too quickly
    before the brown sugar gets a chance to caramelize.

    You can divide the bacon between two sheet pans if
    necessary, but make sure to rotate them between racks
    halfway through cooking time to prevent burning.

    Title: Prime Rib w/Cabernet & Dried Cherry Sauce
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Fruits, Wine, Herbs
    Yield: 8 Servings

    4 Sprigs fresh rosemary;
    - chopped
    4 cl Garlic; chopped
    2 tb Olive oil
    6 lb Standing rib roast(5-6 ribs)
    Salt & ground black pepper
    3 lg Carrots; scraped, chopped
    3 Ribs celery; chopped
    2 sm Onions; peeled, chopped
    2 c Beef broth
    2 c Cabernet Sauvignon wine (or
    - Zinfandel/Primitivo)
    4 oz Dried cherries
    2 2/3 tb Unsalted butter
    2 tb A-P flour; as needed

    Set oven @ 325°F/165°C.

    Mix rosemary, garlic, and olive oil in a bowl. Rub roast
    with mixture and season liberally with salt and black
    pepper.

    Heat an 11" or 12" cast-iron skillet over medium-high
    heat until skillet is very hot. Brown standing rib roast
    on all sides in the hot skillet, 3 to 5 minutes per
    side. Remove meat from skillet. Cook and stir carrots,
    celery, and onions in the hot skillet until slightly
    browned; stir beef broth into vegetables. Place roast on
    top of vegetables in skillet.

    Roast meat in the oven about 2 1/2 hours.

    Transfer roast from skillet to a serving platter,
    retaining pan drippings and vegetables; let rest at
    least 30 minutes before slicing.

    About 15 minutes before serving, combine red wine with
    dried cherries in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to
    a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer until cherries
    have absorbed all the wine, about 10 minutes, stirring
    occasionally; remove from heat.

    Melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat and
    whisk flour into hot butter to make a paste. (roux -
    UDD) Strain reserved pan juices into cherries using a
    fine mesh strainer. Bring cherry sauce with pan juices
    to a boil. Stir flour paste into sauce, reduce heat to
    low, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season
    sauce with salt and black pepper.

    Serve sauce with roast.

    NOTES: This is from my sole go at a Standing Rib
    roast. I used a Zinfandel (noted in ingredients list)
    instead of running out to find a Cab-Sav. It went well
    for the special occasion I was sort-of catering. If I
    have occasion to do it again I won't change much if
    anything .... assuming I have fresh rosemary handy.
