• ½ tsp Red Wine Vinegar

• 2 TBSP Oil
Leafy Brussel Sprouts with Bacon Mise en Place:

• Serving Bowl
Leafy Brussel Sprouts with Bacon Directions:
• Begin by mixing up the dressing. In a bowl, combine the raspberry preserves and the red wine vinegar. Mix well. If the mixture is a bit lumpy, heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt some of the jelly. Add the chili flakes if you are going to use them at this point. Taste for seasoning preference, and make adjustments. More sweet, add more jelly. More Tart, add more vinegar. Hotter? Add more chili flakes. Set aside.
• In a fry pan, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove most of the fat, but leave some behind in the pan, and remove the bacon to a plate. Crumble.
• Trim the ends off the Brussel sprouts.
• Rinse and begin to peel the leaves off the sprouts. No need to be perfect here, just peel as much as you get off, and then slice the rest of the sprout in slices.
• In the frying pan you fried the bacon in, add the Brussel sprout leaves. Sauté them for a few minutes, and add the salt and pepper. When the sprouts have wilted, and are shiny, glossy and a vibrant green, (approximately 4 – 5 min) add the bacon crumbles. Mix well
.
• Place Brussles Sprouts and bacon mixture into a serving bow.
• Mix together raspberry preserves mixture and two tablessoons of oil. Mix well, taste for your preference of sweet and tart, (make adjustments if necessary) and pour over the sprouts.
