A lovely treat on a spring evening. Made a little extra syrup and the sprouts caramelized wonderfully. A definite addition to my recipe folder!

I made these for this Thanksgiving with the in-laws and it was such a hit! The only thing I'd do differently is to double the sauce. We were craving more of it on the brussels sprouts! So, I'm going to put these into my regular rotation. :-). Thanks for sharing such a good recipe!
