Oysters Kilpatrick

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 to 2 dashes Tabasco sauce
2 slices bacon
12 to 24 oysters, shucked

In a small pan, gently heat the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, butter, and Tabasco sauce. Stir until combined.  Remove from the heat and set aside.

In a frying pan, cook the bacon slices until crispy.  Transfer to a paper towel to drain.  Once cooled, dice the bacon and set aside.

Place the oven shelf in the topmost position under the broiler and set the oven to broil. On a baking sheet, using aluminum foil, create pockets for the oyster shells to sit in without toppling over.

Arrange the shucked oysters in the foil pockets.  Top each oyster with a spoonful of sauce.  Scatter each with diced bacon.

Broil for 50 to 60 seconds, watching carefully.  Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy.
