Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Bourbon Maple Glaze
Ingredients
FOR THE SCALLOPS
- 12 slices low sodium bacon , cut in half
- 24 large scallops
FOR THE GLAZE
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds , (optional)
- 1 tablespoon minced chives , (optional)
Instructions
TO PREPARE THE GLAZE
- In a large saucepan over medium high heat, stir together the bourbon, maple syrup, chili pepper flakes, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
TO PREPARE THE SCALLOPS
- Pre-cook the bacon on a large, parchment lined baking sheet at 350 degrees, until the bacon is limp and started to release its fat. Partially cooking the bacon allows the bacon to become crisp by the time the scallops are cooked.
- Remove the bacon from the oven, transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate and cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler on high. Line a baking pan with foil and coat with cooking spray.
- Wrap the partially cooked bacon around the scallops (½ slice bacon per scallop), and secure with a toothpick. Placing each scallop on the prepared baking pan as they are wrapped.
- Evenly coat the scallops with the ½ of the glaze mixture. Broil for 2 minutes.
- Turn the scallops over and evenly coat them with the remaining glaze. Broil for 3 more minutes, or until the scallops are no longer opaque and the bacon is crispy.
- Transfer the scallops to a serving platter and garnish with pomegranate seeds and/or chopped chives.

So many wonderful items! I think I would choose the Pickle Pot with Lid, 10 Liter. I have just started making Kimchi and this would be perfect for that. I am going to make pickles and Sauerkraut, so this would be used a ton. I would also get some of the stone weights for the fermenting crocks/jars.

First of all, congratulations on your blog anniversary! It is a huge accomplishment to reach this milestone. I know exactly how hard it is to keep a blog going at the same time you work outside the house. It's hard! But I know how much you love it. I'm so glad we met in that group so long ago. It's pretty unbelievable how much has changed since then! It's so cool that we are still connected through our love of recipes.
This is a fantastic giveaway. I love my acacia wood salad bowl set SO much. It really is gorgeous stuff.
