Rumified Bacon Bomb

Rumified Bacon Bomb!!!!!!! I was thinking the other day about Rum and all the great recipes that are made with it and I thought to my self why not bacon . If you can make Rum Balls with it why not bacon!!!  Think about it for a moment Spice Rum and meat sounds like a match made in Heaven. Rum is great in anything. If it's good enough to drink it will be undeniably great in food. Anyhow that is my hope anyway.  I decided to use boneless short ribs for this bacon because it contains lots of fat and is readily available.  So what goes well with a Spiced Rum? After tasting the rum I came up with some ideas that I think will work. Spiced Rum reminded me of cookies. Hmm, that sparked an idea!! So I Googled spiced cookies and found recipes for Pumpkin, Ginger, Molasses and Spiced cookies. All these recipes were similar with just some minor ratio differences in their ingredients. So what is going to go in my bacon?  I decided to use  those  same ingredients in my bacon.

Crown Royal Maple Bacon Bomb Who doesn't like Crown Royal or Bacon? These are two winning combinations if you ask me!! My inspiration for this combo occurred to me while eating a BLT and sipping on Bourbon. And of course I was watching the food channel too. Anyhow, I thought, I like Bourbon, whiskey and of course I love bacon why not combine them.  "A Marriage made in  Heaven"   I think this  is a winning combination!! Now that being said can I possibly improve on my   Heavenly Bacon?   Well of course I can. "To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often" Winston Churchill I decided to use boneless short ribs for this bacon because it contains lots of fat and is readily available. I love Short Ribs. I purchased my short ribs at Costco. Costco has a pretty good selection of meat but finding the right pieces can be tricky. I remember asking one of the meat cutters for the fattiest Short Rib he had and with a puzzling look fulfilled
