Preparation

Prep your outdoor grill and heat to about medium-high.
Glaze:
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk the ingredients together. Simmer until it reduces by half.
To Assemble Kabobs:
Wrap each scallop with 1 piece of bacon. On each skewer, pierce a piece of red onion and push it to 1/2 inch form the bottom of the skewer. Pierce the scallop through the bacon and push it down to the red onion (leaving a little space). Pierce a chunk of mango, a piece of red pepper, one more bacon wrapped scallop and finally a chunk of pineapple. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue until all 8 skewers are completed.
Put the kabobs on the outdoor grill and brush with the glaze to coat completely. Cook for about 2 minutes, rotate the skewers and reglaze. Repeat this step two more times. Reglaze and and serve hot!
