You can get a head start on this recipe by trimming the Brussels sprouts a couple of days in advance, and refrigerating them in an unsealed plastic bag.

Ingredients

20 ounces Brussels sprouts, stems trimmed and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons bacon drippings (6 ounces bacon, cooked)
4 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 1/2 cups low-sodium canned chicken broth
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper

Preparation

In a skillet fry bacon and reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings.
Remove bacon from skillet. Add Brussels sprouts and carrots to the bacon drippings and sauté until sprouts start to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Add raisins and chicken broth; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are tender when pierced, about 12 minutes.
Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
