Glazed Scallop Skewers

Entered for safe-keeping. From First 3/09/09. The magazine states that the scallions help to reduce blood sugar, although IMHO the chutney would negate that benefit.

• Ready In: 13 mins
• Serves: 18

Ingredients

• 1  lb  large scallop, halved lengthwise (about 9 whole scallops)
• 2  tablespoons pickled ginger (like Sushi Chef)
• 9  slices bacon, halved crosswise
• 2  scallions, cut in 2-inch strips
• 1⁄2 cup Major Grey chutney
• 1⁄4 cup Major Grey chutney, for basting during broiling

Directions

1. Heat broiler. Soak 9-18 toothpicks in water.
2. Place scallop halves on clean work surface; top with ginger.
3. Roll 1 bacon slice around each scallop.
4. Top each bacon-wrapped scallop with 2 scallion strips, securing with toothpicks.
5. Using pastry brush, coat bacon-wrapped scallops with 1/2 cup chutney.
6. Arrange scallop skewers on broiler pan.
7. Broil 8 minutes, or until scallops are just opaque and bacon is crisp, turning once and brushing with remaining 1/4 cup chutney.
