Caraway Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are a no-brainer on Thanksgiving. I like to make them my own with a variation on a recipe I found in a cooking magazine. I add bacon drippings, onion, caraway seeds, maple syrup, sherry vinegar, Dijon and more. —Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

I know this is not healthy, but just yesterday I told DH that I would like to make things using bacon fat and look what showed up

Barb and I love BS. Will be making this soon. Also if you don't have sherry vinegar Rice vinegar is a good substitute and apple cider vinegar is also just use a little less if using ASV
