Method

Bring Brussels, lemon juice, salt and Bring to a boil enough water to cover the Brussels sprouts.  When boiling, stir in orange juice and salt to taste.  Add Brussels sprouts and immediately lower heat to reach a strong simmer.  Cook covered, until sprouts are tender, about 5 - 7 minutes.  Drain and keep warm.

Melt half the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.  Stir in onion and saute until onions begin to caramelize. Stir in apple juice and cook for 2 minutes.

Add apple pieces, garlic and sugar.  Cook stirring constantly (sugar tends to caramelize rapidly) for 5-6 minutes or until apple is tender. Add raisins, orange zest, pepper to taste, nutmeg, and the remaining butter.  Cook, stirring constantly, for 3-4 .  Add Brussels sprouts and toss to coat each one.  Gently, gently does it.
