Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Combine vinegar, maple syrup and rosemary in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the glaze is thickened and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and set aside.

Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap a half-slice around the circumference of each scallop.

Arrange scallops in a baking pan and bake for 8 minutes.

Remove scallops from the oven. Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of glaze over each scallop, return to the oven and bake for approximately 7-8 minutes.

Arrange scallops on a serving plate.

Drizzle additional glaze over scallops for decoration, and accent with sprigs of fresh rosemary, if desired.

Makes 5-6 servings.
