Filipino Tocino Bacon

Ingredients
For the Bacon:
* 1 lb thick-cut bacon
Tocino Marinade:
* ½ cup pineapple juice
* ½ cup brown sugar
* 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
* 1 Tbsp black pepper
* 1 Tbsp soy sauce
* 2 Tbsp white vinegar
* 2–3 tsp beetroot powder (optional, for natural color)
or
5 drops red food coloring

Instructions
1. Make the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, soy sauce, vinegar, and beetroot powder or food coloring (if using).
2. Marinate the Bacon
Place the bacon in a deep bowl or container and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors soak in.
3. Cook the Tocino Bacon
Start with a cold pan. Lay the marinated bacon slices flat in the pan and add about ⅓ cup of water.
Simmer gently over low heat for 10–15 minutes, or until the water has fully evaporated.
Let the bacon continue cooking in its own fat, allowing the sugar to caramelize into a sticky, glossy glaze. Flip occasionally for even browning.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot with garlic fried rice and eggs, or enjoy on its own as a sweet-savory snack.
