    Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Bourbon Peach Glaze are simply amazing.  I make these all of the time.

    Just looking at these pictures makes me feel like I am in food heaven!  And it makes me wanna go make some more of these delicious bacon wrapped scallops with bourbon peach glaze…

    The only thing that’s keeping me from cooking them again is the fact that I am lazy….  I don’t want to mess up too many dishes on my last day off from work…

    The only hard part about making these scallops is cleaning the dishes after you eat.. That’s it…

    The only thing I had to do was wrap the scallops in bacon, season them with a little salt & pepper, then cook them for a few minutes.  The sauce is super easy too, as I boil peaches, sugar, water, and bourbon together for a few minutes to get my glaze.  It didn’t take long at all to make these.

    That easy prep resulted in a tender seasoned scallop with a sweet glaze.  As you bite into the scallop you get a wonderful combination of flavors from the smoky taste from the bacon, a lightly sweet taste from the glaze & scallops, and a hint of bourbon flavor.

    Don’t be alarmed about the cost of these scallops.  You can still make these without breaking the bank…

    A Budget Friendly Tip: Make these scallops as an appetizer or as a side.  For example, I paired these scallops with my Red Wine Rosemary Steaks.  We each got three jumbo scallops along with our steaks, wild rice, and steamed broccoli last night.  Everyone’s tummy was full, I and didn’t spend a fortune on a big bag of scallops to serve at dinner as the main course.

    This is also a great budget friendly romantic dinner without the cost of eating out if you use the budget friendly tips I mentioned above.  (Plus, you can drink the rest of the bourbon at your own discretion 🙂 )

    If you don’t have anymore use for the bourbon after making these scallops or you need an easy dessert to complete this meal, try my Easy Vanilla Pudding and Bourbon Caramel Parfaits.  Another great bourbon recipe I have is my Steaks with Bourbon Cream Mushroom Sauce.

    Author: Sharee

    Ingredients

    • 6 large jumbo scallops (cleaned and dried)
    • 6 slices of bacon (I used hickory smoked bacon)
    • Kosher salt
    • Freshly grated black pepper
    • 2 cups sliced peaches (I used frozen sliced peaches)
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1/4 cup Bourbon
    • 1/8 cup brown sugar
    • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Bourbon
    • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
    • olive oil

    Instructions

    • Set the oven to broil.
    • Wrap a slice of bacon around each scallop. Trim the bacon to fit around each scallop. Secure the bacon around the scallop with a toothpick.
    • Season each bacon wrapped scallop with salt and pepper. Set aside.
    • Place the peaches, water, 1/4 cup of bourbon, and brown sugar in a medium sauce pan. Stir the ingredients together.
    • Bring the peach mixture to a boil. Then, turn down the heat to medium low, and cook the mixture for about 15 minutes. During the cooking process of this mixture - Once the peaches are soft, cut the peaches into small pieces to help release the peach flavor.
    • The sauce will reduce in amount during the cooking process.
    • Once you have cooked the peaches, use a strainer to drain the juice from the peaches. After draining the juice away from the peaches, place the juice back into the sauce pan.
    • Mix the 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of bourbon with the cornstarch until the cornstarch is blended and smooth. Then add the cornstarch mixture to the peach juice.
    • Cook this peach juice for about one minute, remove from heat, and set aside. (The sauce will thicken).
    • Place about two tablespoons of olive oil in an oven safe pan and heat the oil on medium high heat until the oil is hot.
    • Once the oil is hot, place the scallops in the pan and brown the scallops for 2 minutes on each side.
    • Place the pan of scallops in the oven and broil the scallops for about 5 to 7 minutes.
    • Garnish with sauce.
    • Serve immediately

    Notes

    Serve immediately because scallops tend to get a rubbery texture after cooking.
    Also try to make sure you don't over cook the scallops as this will give the scallops a rubbery texture.
    I like to brown my bacon a little by placing the bacon wrapped scallops on their sides (bacon side down) in the pan, and cooking the bacon just a few seconds (long enough to slightly brown the bacon) right before putting the scallops in the oven. You can also cook the bacon slightly before wrapping the bacon around the scallops to get your bacon crispy without overcooking the scallops.
    A Budget Friendly Tip: Make these scallops as an appetizer or as a side. For example, I paired these scallops with my Red Wine Rosemary Steaks. We each got three jumbo scallops along with our steaks, wild rice, and steamed broccoli last night. Everyone's tummy was full, I and didn't spend a fortune on a big bag of scallops to serve at dinner as the main course.

          thank you Happy Valentines day to you! I actually ended up dribbling the glaze on the scallops when they were 1/2 way cooked and under broiler and threw the peach chunks on in too. Let’m cook and voila, delishousness!

      And I love your tip for serving them as a side.

      Scallops are virtually unknown in the Greek cuisine for some strange reason! Even though we do have scallops in our seas, it’s a rare thing to see in restaurant menus and households. We’ve only seen people eating scallops raw, when they take them right out of the sea.
      That being said, we’ve seen some scallops in the frozen seafood section of the supermarkets lately, and we were wondering how to cook them. And your recipe looks AMAZING! Loved what you did with the bacon and the peaches! Plus the bourbon must add a lot of flavor.
      Thank you for another delicious recipe Sharee!
