  1. This was interesting. A nice variety of ingredients. I used red delicious apples. !/2 lemon juice. I seasoned the scallops with white pepper then topped with bacon. I reduced the cider sauce down to very thick. Made for Comfort cafe http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=288536&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=915 Thanks.
