Honeyed Brussels Sprouts

Honey and lemon combined give a nice edge to these sprouts.  Nice for a holiday meal whether Thanksgiving or Christmas

• 8 cups fresh Brussels sprouts
• 6 tablespoon butter
• 6 tablespoons honey
• Grated rind of 1 lemon
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

METHOD

Cut sprouts in half carefully. Start at base so you have core on each half and don't lose leaves. Steam Brussels sprouts over boiling water until tender but firm, about 5 - 6 minutes.

While sprouts are cooking prepare sauce. Melt butter and honey in a medium saucepan. When honey softens into butter, stir in lemon rind, salt and pepper.

Drain cooked sprouts and put in serving dish. Pour sauce over and stir to mix.

Serves: 8
