"I love making these appetizers at Christmas time. Always well received!! I'm guessing on the servings, depends on the size of the scallops."

are you using frozen scallops if so do you defrost first -
I have to go to a pot luck. Can I make these now and reheat later?

I’ve found precook bacon works best as the bacon actually looks done. -
i make this often without the sauce. i made it this time as a dipping sauce, well received, as part of a new years buffet -
New Years Eve 2003 special treat! What a wonderful way to start the new year. -
Delicious and beautiful! Made as written with the addition of a sprinkling of parsley on top.

This is a simple recipe that I have made many times. I just use more broth and garlic. When serving guests, I put all the scallops on a tray that has depth, and I pour the broth over. The scallops sit in the both a bit, and they taste so delicious! There are never leftovers.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
