Tasty sprouts, but the balsamic & sugar mix hardened up like a jolly rancher. Next time, a little sugar in balsamic and no boiling. Too sweet if you follow the recipe.

I have made these several times for special dinners and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. I usually just let everyone choose how much glaze to put on the roasted sprouts since everyone has a personalized sweet tooth. Everyone always compliments them and is suprised at how much they love the taste of the sprouts. Thank you Ree for making this unpopular veggie so yummy!

Made these over the holidays and making them again today for a family get together. They were a bigger hit than I even thought they would be. My glaze didn't seize up and I wonder if that is because I always roast my brussel sprouts with EVOO and I tossed the sprouts with the glaze as opposed to just pouring it over them. I decreased the ratio of glaze to brussel sprounts as I was a little concerned the full amount would be overwhelming. If you like the components of this dish separately, you will love them together.

I made these for Christmas dinner and they were very good. I agree with some of the other reviewers in that the glaze is very sweet and really "seizes" up as it cools but it works well with the Brussel sprouts. Also I don't think you need nearly as much glaze as it calls for - half the amount works just fine, otherwise the sprouts become too sweet. A couple of things that I did a little differently was to add salt & pepper to the sprouts when roasting with the oil and I added some toasted walnuts when I added the cranberries, it added another layer of texture and flavor.

I also was a bit disappointed. I was so happy to try these because I have only had brussells sprouts once and i actually liked them because they were cooked correctly. I roasted just like it said and I tried them after they were roasted and i loved them...it was the glaze that i did not like and my family was on the fence with them. They said it was ok but a bit sweet and something you dont eat often.

a HUGE hit at our Christmas Eve dinner with Prime Rib and horseradish sauce. I took a big risk by never trying this before that night so was very pleased. However.. once that reduction firms up... GOOD LUCK washing the dishes....

I was disappointed. The glaze was so sweet that the flavor of the brussels sprouts was lost. I also felt that they did not go well with the savory flavors of the meat and whiskey sauce.

It makes me sad to rate this so low because I like most of PW's recipes, but I made this last night and it was just ok. The balsamic stiffened up once I tossed it onto the sprouts and the cranberries were just weird in this. If you do make it, I would recommend adding salt and pepper to the olive oil before roasting the sprouts. I typically just roast them with olive oil, salt and pepper but thought it would be fun to try these. I won't be making them again.
