1 cup Sugar, brown, light
2 tsps Cumin seed, ground
2 tsps Coriander, ground
20 slices Bacon, thick sliced
4 Tbsps Chili powder
2 tsps Cumin seed
1/2 tsps Cayenne pepper


Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 400
degrees. Line two rimmed 15"x11" baking pans with foil. Place a
cooling rack on the foil on each.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, chili powder, ground cumin, cumin
seeds, coriander and cayenne. Spread some of the mixture out on a
piece of wax paper and form into a 12-inch square. Lay the bacon on
in strips and press down to coat heavily. Lay strips, barely
touching, on the racks over the foil.

Bake one batch at a time for 12 minutes. Turn the bacon over with
tongs and continue baking for another 10 minutes, until the bacon
looks deep brown, but not burned. Remove from the oven and
immediately move the strips to a plate covered with paper towels. Do
the same with the other pan of bacon. Keep the bacon in a warm oven
until used. If not removed from the racks soon, the bacon will stick
to the rack
