Scallops and Bacon with Maple-Bourbon Glaze

My wife I recently hosted an appetizer and dessert party. Here is one of the appetizers I made. You will need scallops, bacon (avoid thick cut), maple syrup, your favorite bourbon, one lemon, and toothpicks.

Remove the adductor muscle from the scallops. Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap the scallops with the bacon. Secure the bacon to the scallop with a toothpick.

Set up the grill for indirect grilling. Don't forget to clean and oil the grate. Grill the scallops until the bacon cooks and is crisp. Thick cut bacon will take longer to cook and can lead to overcooked scallops.

While the scallops cook, heat about ½ cup of maple syrup and ¼ cup of bourbon (more if you like),and juice from one lemon in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until the mixture thickens. Pour the glaze over the scallops to serve. Enjoy!
