24 Fresh Bay Scallops
1/2 cup Maple Syrup
6-8 slices Bacon
24 Toothpicks
Note: Soak toothpicks in water for 5 minutes
before using to avoid catching fire
when cooking.
Rinse scallops under cold water to remove sand and cartilage.
Cut bacon strips into 24 equal pieces.
Wrap bacon pieces around scallops
overlapping ends to secure with toothpicks.
Place scallops in shallow glass
dish, pour Maple Syrup over scallops, and toss to coat. Marinate in refrigerator
one hour - tossing to coat occasionally.
Broil in oven or on grill, basting and
turning until
bacon is crisp on all sides and scallops are firm.
Drain on paper
towel or plate, and serve.
