Lets start with the fact as a child when brussel sprouts were served I would say no thank you. They came frozen cooked in water and made the house smell. Now I watch a lot of cooking shows and everyone raves about them. So I added bacon (which improves everything), some vinegar, some spice, and some tangy pomegranate molasses to bring some tart, and honey for some sweetness. Heck I could eat them and went back for seconds. I hope you like it.
