Bacon Baklava

This was indeed the reason I started this blog (well the amount of people asking for the recipe) so I figured it should be my first ACTUAL post :)
Thing you will need:
1 1/2 pound(s) sliced bacon
1 cup(s) whole blanched almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
3/4 cup(s) coarsely chopped dates
1 package phyllo dough
10 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter , melted
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) pure maple syrup
1/2 cup(s) water
2 tablespoon(s) bourbon
Finely grated zest of 1/2 orange

What you will do:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a skillet, fry the bacon in batches until crisp. Drain well and crumble. In a food processor, finely chop the bacon with the almonds and dates.
2. Butter a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan. Lay a sheet of phyllo in the pan; trim the edges to fit and brush with butter. Repeat with 4 more phyllo sheets and butter. Spread 1 cup of the filling evenly over the phyllo. Repeat this layering of 5 phyllo sheets and bacon filling two more times. Top with 5 buttered phyllo sheets, buttering the top well.
3. With a small, sharp knife, cut the baklava into diamonds. Bake the baklava for 10 minutes. Turn the oven to 325 degrees F and bake for 1 hour longer, or until nicely browned.
4. Meanwhile, combine the sugar, maple syrup, water, bourbon and orange zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, then let cool to room temperature. Pour the cooled syrup over the hot baklava and let stand at room temperature uncovered overnight.
5. Enjoy!
