Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Generously salt the water and add the Brussels sprouts. Simmer the sprouts until just tender, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain the sprouts well.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and saute the bacon until browned and crisp, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the bacon from the pan to a plate lined with a paper towel. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
• Leave the bacon fat in the pan and add the red onions and 1 tablespoon of butter. Saute until the onions are translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cranberries and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the red wine vinegar and brown sugar and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.

CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375° 2. Wash Brussels Sprouts. Cut the stem off, and then, cut into halves. Place your sprouts into a large bowl. 3. In a small bowl, soften your stick of butter in the microwave for 15 seconds. Add sugar and salt. Whisk ingredients together. 4. Add your whisked butter, sugar, and salt to your Brussels. Mix them around for two to three minutes to make sure the Brussels are evenly coated. This will aid the caramelization process. 5. *Optional, cover the baking pan with foil for an easier cleanup. Lay a roasting rack over the foil.* If you do not have a roasting rack, make sure you flip your sprouts every 10 minutes. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the outer leaves of the Brussels start to turn a golden brown. 6. While your sprouts are cooking, cook your bacon in a saute pan on medium-high heat. Once they are cooked through, remove bacon and place onto a paper towel to drain grease. 7. Once the bacon has cooled and harden, chop bacon into 1/4" pieces. 8. When Brussels are browned, removed from the oven and transfer to a baking dish. Add the butter/sugar/salt mix that has drained under the roasting rack back to the Brussels. Add in your chopped bacon. Put back into the oven for 10 minutes to soften your Brussels even more. 10. Enjoy the deliciousness.

CARAMELIZED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil (for easy cleaning) and place a wire baking rack on top.
• Combine the brown sugar and pecans in a food processor and process until the pecans are finely ground. Add the salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper and pulse to combine. Add the maple syrup and pulse again to moisten the crumbs.
• Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise and line up the pieces on the baking rack without touching. With a small spoon, evenly spread the pecan mixture on top of each piece of bacon, using all of the mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the topping is very browned but not burnt. If it's underbaked, the bacon won't crisp as it cools.
• While it's hot, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside to cool. Serve at room temperature. (The caramelized bacon can be made early in the day and stored at room temperature.)
