Bacon Wrapped Scallops with an Orange Maple Glazed

Prep & Cook Time: 30 to 45 minutes 

This maple syrup recipe is inspired by Andy's East Coast Kitchen! Andy's recipe looked so amazing we thought we'd try it with our Barrel Aged Whisky Maple Syrup! Here is our version of Andy's recipe, or you can check out his full recipe by clicking here.

• 10 to 12 fresh scallops 
• 1 package of bacon 
• salt to taste
• 1/4 cup salted butter 
• Wabanaki Maple's Barrel Aged Whisky Maple Syrup
• Juice of 1/2 of a fresh orange 
• 1 tablespoon of cooking oil 

1. Fry your bacon until it is 3/4 cooked. Set aside to cool.
2. Dry your scallops with a paper towel then lightly salt them. 
3. With your cooled bacon, wrap it around the edge of the scallop and secure it with a toothpick. 
4. Preheat a cast iron pan and add in some cooking oil once heated. 
5. Fry your bacon wrapped scallops, scallop side down, for 3 minutes on each side. 
6. Move all of your bacon wrapped scallops to one side of your cast iron pan and add in your butter. 
7. Once the butter melts, add in your maple syrup and juice from half of a fresh orange.
8. Mix the sauce lightly then baste your bacon wrapped scallops for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, flipping them halfway through while continuing to baste them. 
9. Serve!
