Brussels Sprouts and Cranberries

I bought a lot of cranberries at the bogs this year. I’ve made bread, cookies, relish – and these really tasty Brussels sprouts!!

And I bought four stalks of sprouts in September and froze them. I was looking for something different to do with them and – viola!

Making the Sprouts and Cranberries – 

This dish is so easy to make! I used pork belly in this one. Pork belly is the fatty belly of the pig. It’s the part we get bacon from! And who doesn’t like bacon? When you buy it whole, there is more meat on it than your standard bacon.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Lay the Brussels sprouts, cranberries and 2 Tablespoons of butter in a casserole dish.

Bake for 15 minutes.

While they are cooking, cut the pork belly into 1/2 inch cubes and cook them in 1 Tablespoon of butter until the are brown and crisp on the outside.

Add them to the casserole dish with the maple syrup. Give it a stir and bake for another 10 minutes.
