Savory-Sweet Brussel Sprouts

Ingredients

• 1/4 pound of bacon
• 2 Tbls bacon grease or butter
• 2 Tbls Apple juice or Apple sauce
• 1 pound shredded Brussel Sprouts
• 1/2 cup of dried apples
• 1/2 cup of slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup of Sweet-and-Sour Salad Dressing (Poppyseed also works well)
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions

Fry bacon to desired crispness, crumble and set aside. Wash brussel sprouts and shred them (like cole slaw) and set aside. Take 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease or butter and add 2 tablespoons of Apple Juice and sautee the brussel sprouts until tender. Add your preferred amount of salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup of dried apples and sautee for another 5 minutes (so apples take on a little of the moisture from the sprouts). Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup slivered almonds and salad dressing - toss to coat well. You can also top the sprouts with fresh scallions, diced red onions or even french fried onions for an extra kick. You will never look at Brussel Sprouts the same way ever again....
