Binged a recipe for Candied Bacon, just need to figure out what Demerara sugar is.
Soft brown sugar. Don't know what name it goes by in the USA.

Um, Brown sugar. @=)

Actually, I've seen two types of brown sugar. Light brown sugar and brown sugar (no adjective in the title) which is darker. But I'll have to see if Demerara is a different type in addition those two.

Soft brown sugar. Don't know what name it goes by in the USA. Fairly dark brown, very sticky sugar.

Thanks, Gail, that helps me a lot. Perhaps that means I could try it with what we already have on hand at home. Now, just need to find out if we have any bacon.

According to this website, light brown sugar is the substitute.

Difference between brown sugar and light brown sugar is the amount of molasses used in making it.

I use Demerara in one of my beers to lighten the body, increase the fermentables (aka alcohol percentage) and to help build a more complex malt backbone. It's named after a region in SA if I remember correctly - I yield to Gail for any corrects there. Suitable substitutes would be any kind of turbinado sugar aka Sugar in the Raw[/url].

No, it's named after a former British colony in North Africa. Colony now has another name, but there's still a river with that name iirc. The product in question is called Demerara sugar in the UK. It's sold as 'soft brown sugar' or 'treacle sugar' here.

You could try maple syrop instead of sugar.

An old friend once tried smoking salmon that had been marinated in maple syrop. I wish I had some of that right now.

I wonder how that would work with a mixture of molassus and brown sugar?

I know my wife uses syrup and brown sugar when making glazed carrots.

Just replace the carrots with bacon.

I saw some places saying that maple could be used with white sugar instead of the brown sugar. It will give a different taste since you are subbing maple for molasses - should taste good though.

Unless you don't mind the sweet smell in your house for the whole day or longer, be careful with cooking this in your house. A few times, I've accidently bought maple bacon and it smelled up the house. The scent is OK at first, but after a few hours, it can be too much.

It's one of the many reasons I prefer to grill my bacon. It's outside and so is the lingering greasy smell. It's easier to get it nice a crispy like I like it. Grease fires on the grill are much easier to put out than grease fires in the kitchen.

It makes my neighbors and their dogs (a couple of very large Irish wolfhounds) absolutely green with envy.

If you are going to use maple syrup please at least make it REAL maple syrup, not Mrs. Butterworth's or something else like that.

Real Maple Syrup and bacon.....two of my favorite things.

hmmmmmm, didn't I say "maple" syrup? Mrs. Butterworth's is pancake syrup, not maple syrop.

Excellent point Jack.

For those who can get the real thing. It's just about worth its weight in gold down here. A small jar (250g) can cost easily R75, if you can find it at all.
