Maple-Glazed Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts were universally despised by all members of my family until we found this recipe. Armed with fresh from the farmer's market brussels sprouts, we followed the recipe exactly. My husband declared them "to die for", I loved them, and my kids ... well, they ate the 3 sprouts we put on their plate with no complaint (though admittedly they didn't ask for more, neither did they complain for make a face).

The recipe is on the sweet side, but not cloyingly so. My husband normally finds such recipes to be "too sweet," but not in this case. We will make these again. If we were not serving these to our kids, I would up the cayenne paper a bit, I think, as it was barely noticeable.
