TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min.
YIELD: 1 dozen.
I enjoy cooking for my parents, and my bacon-wrapped scallops recipe is one of their favorites. If you prefer, replace the pear preserves with preserves or jam of a different flavor. —Ethan Hall, King, North Carolina
Ingredients
-
12 bacon strips
-
3/4 cup pear preserves
-
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
12 sea scallops (about 3/4 pound)
-
1/8 teaspoon salt
-
1/8 teaspoon pepper
-
1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions

1.
Place bacon in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° for 7-10 minutes or until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; keep warm.

2.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until thickened.

Wrap a bacon strip around each scallop; secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook bacon-wrapped scallops in oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until scallops are firm and opaque, turning once. Serve with pear sauce.
