Christmas Brussel Sprouts

In our house we fight for the Brussel Sprouts.  Usually we have to count so we can be fair to all.
Derek bought 4 lbs. for us, 5 people,  so we would all have as much as we wanted.
Lexi loves cherries, so in her honor I came up with this recipe!  A winner for sure!

Christmas Sprouts
4 lbs. Brussel Sprouts, cleaned and trimmed
3/4 cup dried tart cherries
2 cloves garlic
4 TBSP butter
1/4 cup real maple syrup
1/2 cup cabernet sauvignon wine

In a small sauce pan add the cherries and other 4 ingredients.  Simmer on a low heat until cherries become tender and flavors are blended, about 20 minutes.  You can do this while washing and trimming your sprouts.
Place sprouts in a large bowl and add the cherries mixture.  Toss until well coated and pour into a sheet pan.  Roast in a 400 degree over for 40 to 50 minutes, depending on the size of the sprouts.
Serve. Yummy!
Merry Christmas to all!
