1/4cupdried cranberries

Instructions
Cut bacon into small pieces and add to a large sauté pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes. They do not need to be crispy at this point. They will continue to crisp as the Brussels sprouts cook.
Add Brussels sprouts to the pan, placing them cut side down. Let them cook without moving over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown color on the cut side and are fork tender throughout. If they start to get too browned, turn the heat down just a bit. Season with salt and pepper.
When the Brussels are done, remove from heat and sprinkle craisins over the pan. Drizzle honey over everything. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
