Sherry Balsamic Caramelized Brussels Sprouts image

I'll admit it... I really like Brussels sprouts. They're so underrated! And when prepared like this, there's a love affair in the making! This is a simply terrific side dish to freshen up most any meal. We substituted traditional balsamic vinegar for the sherry balsamic that Lou calls for and the recipe still turned out fab....
