Prior to grilling, soak 6 wooden skewers in water at least 30
minutes. Preheat grill or broiler/over to medium-high heat.
Rinse Alaska Scallops under cold water and pat dry with paper towel.
Partially wrap each scallop with piece of prosciutto. Arrange
three scallops on each skewer with bay leaf in between (touching
each scallop, but not crowding scallops on skewer). To make
baste, thoroughly blend mustard, wine and honey in small bowl.
Place skewers on well-oiled grill or spray-coated broiling pan and
brush with basting mixture. Cook scallops 5 inches from heat
source, 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning and basting once.
Cook just until scallops are opaque and somewhat firm. Remove
bay leaves before eating.
Makes 4 to 6 serving.

*Fresh bay leaves are often available in the produce section of
the grocery store. If you can't find them, simmer dried bay
leaves in the basting mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes,
then remove from heat and infuse 30 more minutes. Remove the
bay leaves and use infused mixture as the baste.
