My goal was to not do any grocery shopping, so I made a couple of substitutions: sour orange for the orange juice, balsamic vinegar for the red wine vinegar. I was also able to use fresh thyme, as it has survived a light frost. This was very, very good - a wonderful addition to our Thanksgiving table. I used only 4 cups of sprounts, but used all of the rest of the ingredients.

While looking for a new way to make brussel sprouts for Thanksgiving, i came across your recipe. Being bored wih the steamed and add a little butter recipe i have always used, i was thrilled to find this recipe. I Halved the recipe to give it a whirl and it's a winner! i'm going to make a double batch for Thanksgiving now! Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe! My daughter, who hated brussel sprouts before, even had seconds! One thing i did different was grate a little orange zest over the top just before serving. Thanks again.
