Peppered Bacon (3 Ingredient Candied Bacon)

"Besides the bacon only 2 ingredients go into making this addictive and versatile treat. Peppered bacon can be an appetizer, a brunch dish or a tasty garnish for soups and casseroles. A few years back we participated in a Food Network cooking challenge where we were to make a dish using 4 ingredients from our pantry or fridge. Those ingredients were voted on by our readers and included bacon and pepper jelly! We came up with the idea to make a candied bacon (some people like to call it pig candy) using the pepper jelly rather than the typical ingredient, brown sugar. That bacon was the star of the challenge and we finally got around to making it to share here."
