I keep kosher, and although I used to eat bacon long ago, before I started keeping kosher, it's off limits to me now. I do love the taste of Bac-Os, though, which for those of you who can eat bacon probably is not very appealing, but it's the best I can do. Do you suppose this could be made with Bac-Os?

It’s only lemon juice, sugar, and cream, but it sets up! Like a light-as-air lemon curd, or even a mousse! It’s so easy and brightly delicious, and it contains only ingredients whose flavor I thoroughly like! No eggs or cornstarch or powdered sugar to get in the way. I issue a warning to the next person who mentions lemon curd to me — for I shall sit them down and lecture on the wonders of lemon posset. So, yes, last year, I was amazed by Bacon Baklava, and this year, it’s all about the posset, which — bonus — is also just as much fun to say. From what I can tell, the reaction between the acid in the lemon juice and the casein (protein) in the cream causes it to set. Like curd, some combination of lime, orange, or passion fruit can be used, too (and some possets are warm, alcoholic drinks… also worth a try; egg nog is related, I believe).

It was AMAZING! It is a long process and I was TERRIFIED since I've never worked with Phyllo dough but.. it's worth it! I recommend sticking with the amount of bacon! It's worth it for the flavoring. And I would recommend syrup flavored bacon! Good luck! I did this recipe for a Bacon/ Iron Chef we did here at my house in Colorado.

Awesome. My cousin had a restaurant where he served a BLT with chunky peanut butter. It was a customer favorite. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks. You should try bacon with peanut butter.
