Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring often, until crisp and browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate with tongs or a slotted spoon. Pour the fat out of the pan (discard when cool). Return the pan to high heat; add port, wine, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, garlic cloves and 1 1/2 teaspoons five-spice powder. Bring to a boil. Add the bacon and cook, stirring often, until the sauce is almost completely reduced, sticky and coating the bacon, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat. To prepare salad: Mix shallot, vinegar, oil, syrup, five-spice powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir in raspberries, crushing slightly with the back of the spoon. Add peaches, watercress and radicchio and toss to coat. Serve the salad topped with the glazed bacon. Garnish with flaky sea salt, if desired.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
