Scallops with Bacon Jam topping

I made scallops with a Bacon Jam topping from H.E.B. grocery stores. This is a great topping, and they say it is excellent on chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. I can tell you it is great on scallops. It has a slight sweet taste, but not overbearing at all and a baconish flavor. If you're in the HEB shopping area, I recommend you give it a try.
Cooking the scallops on the Mini in butter and olive oil.

Wow, what a coincidence, C-T. Try it on a different meat and post your find.Thanks for the other two comments.Dripping Springs, Texas

Very nice cook and plating.? HD or C-TS, recipe says to place red onions in H2O for 10 min...it that to take the sulfur edge off the onion? If you use a sweet onion would that step be necessary?Great minds think alike or fools seldom differ, whichever :-). We just picked up a jar at CM for the family cook this weekend.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

AE, yes, soaking the red onion in water leaches out the sulfur compounds and, therefore, takes out the "bite". That wouldn't be needed with a sweet onion. But, the red color is so nice with that salad.Interesting about CM. My normal HEB was out of the Bacon Jam, so I went to CM. The lady there said they don't carry it .. only HEB. Sooooo, I went to another HEB to get it. She obviously was wrong.Dripping Springs, Texas

I wasn't going to do scallops....but I thought it was funny my wife brought it home same day and we were looking for something fun to do with it to post. I guess i should assume that when bacon shows up in jam that you better act quick if you want to get one over on this crew!Thanks for the other two comments.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Howdy- For some reason, I didn't even see that you were OP on this until just now. Now I know I was way lateKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

I learned that right here with you.had no idea about the red oinion. Not sure what I'm going to do with this stuff yet, but now I know I'd better bring my A game (and go buy some new plates) )Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

Beeee---ahhh---yuuu---tee---full!! I am gonna have to check CM this weekend to see if that have it. Think it would go well on charbroiled oysters?
SG - do you mean only one good plate? Or one nicely plated up? You can see where we always "try" and get a nice plated up shot, but you should see the other plate where its all dumped on. Mrs. G usually gets the "nice" plate.

HD said "told CM did not carry it and found the bacon jam at HEB". That is my biggest complaint about HEB/CM sometimes it is there when you return another time the item has vanished....but then you see it at another HEB. It is ridicoulosLarge, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx
