Bacon-Wrapped Scallops With Pear Sauce

1. 1

   Place bacon in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 375u00b0 for 7-10 minutes or until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; keep warm.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until thickened.

3. 3

   Wrap a bacon strip around each scallop; secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook bacon-wrapped scallops in oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until scallops are firm and opaque, turning once. Serve with pear sauce.
