My wife and I were excited to have fresh jumbo scallops tonight with our favorite artichoke glaze. The grill was heated up but no artichoke hearts. No time to go to the store. Then I spied a jar of fig preserves...

1/2 cup fig paste or preserves
Juice of 1 large lemon
1 hot Thai chili pepper
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup fresh basil
1/2 cup olive oil

I liquefied all of that in the Vita-Mix and brushed it on the scallops 5 minutes before they were done. It was SOOOO GOOD!
