Ingredients
For the Bacon Jam:
- ¾ pound smoked bacon cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ½ large yellow onions finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup water
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar

- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
For the Brussels Sprouts:
- 1 ½ pounds brussels sprouts stems removed, halved
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
For Serving:
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt

Instructions
Make the Bacon Jam:
- In large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp, stirring frequently. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate. Remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons bacon drippings from skillet and return skillet to medium heat.
- Add butter, onions and salt to skillet. Cook 7 to 9 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Stir in water, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, thyme, black pepper and bacon. Cook over medium heat 10 to 12 minutes or until most liquid is evaporated and mixture has a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in balsamic vinegar.
Make the Brussels Sprouts:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place brussels sprouts on rimmed baking pan; toss with oil. Transfer to oven and roast 22 to 24 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring and turning occasionally.
- To serve, spread yogurt on large platter (or divide between individual plates). Top with brussels sprouts, dried cranberries and Bacon Jam.
Notes
- Home Chef Tip: Add your bacon to a cold pan, and THEN turn on the heat. The bacon fat renders slowly this way, leading to super crispy bacon!
