Party Panache, Bacon Wrapped Brussels with Cranberry Orange Glaze
I know I post a LOT of Brussels sprouts recipes
{ one of my very favorite foods }
BUT WAIT!
This recipe also includes a delicious Maple- Orange Cranberry Sauce from French Gardner Dishes that will go perfectly with your holiday meats!
I made this for Thanksgiving and used the leftover sauce to glaze the bacon wrapped Brussels sprouts we noshed on for the Iron Bowl game that Saturday
This recipe is very easy, and very holiday festive!
The 3 ingredient sauce takes no time to put together, just simmer the berries in the orange juice and maple syrup until the berries burst
Transfer sauce to a jar, let cool and refrigerate. It will thicken up as it cools
Have you ever seen Baby Purple Brussels Sprouts? They are a hybrid of Brussels Sprouts and red cabbage, and supposed to taste a little sweeter
Trim sprouts and wrap in a piece of bacon. These sprouts are small so I only need about 1/4 of a piece. If some of your sprouts are larger than the others, cut them in half so cooking time will be the same as the smaller ones
Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes or until bacon and sprouts are cooked through
Drain on paper towels then transfer into a baking dish
Pour the cranberry sauce over all
Serve with cocktail forks or tooth picks
The Cranberry Orange Sauce is adapted from French Gardner Dishes
Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts with Cranberry Orange Glaze
Ingredients
- fresh Brussels Sprouts {plan on 3-4 per person}
- bacon strips {1 slice for 3-4 sprouts}
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup real maple syrup
- zest from 1 orange
Instructions
- Trim sprouts and cut in half if necessary so all the sprouts are roughly the same size.
- Wrap each sprout in bacon and place on a parchment lined baking sheet with bacon ends tucked under sprouts.
- Roast at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until bacon and sprouts are done. Drain well on paper towels.
- Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Pour enough sauce over sprouts to coat them well. Place dish in a 350 oven until sauce and sprouts are heating through. Serve with toothpicks or cocktail forks
- Put cranberries, zest, juice and syrup into a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer.
- Cook until berries burst open and soften.
- Remove pan from heat and let sauce cool.
- Once cool put sauce into a large jar and refrigerate for up to a week. Makes about 1 pint.
Fa la la!

This looks so yummy Jenna that I sent your link to the Mister asking him to make this for the weekend. He is a huge fan of Brussel sprouts so it is looking good. Have a great week, Jenna.
Thanks Katie, this is incredibly easy, you could surprise him!
Everything is better with bacon Jenna and the cranberry-orange glaze on your Brussels sounds delicious!
thanks Mary 🙂
bacon and brussels! What’s not to love?! (The coasters arrived yesterday. They do such a fabulous job there — I love ém and so will the recipients!)
thank you Jeanie, I do think their products are fantastic…I ordered a table, can’t wait until it arrives!
I could eat this for breakfast right now!
😂
I will have to make these Jenna. They look irresistable! I have never seen purple brussels but will look for them.

I found them at Fresh Market and apparently they are only available this time of year. I couldn’t really taste any difference, and your cranberry sauce is divine!
Purple Baby Brussels Sprouts??? Never heard of them Jenna but I am goin to look for them now. You have thee neatest recipes and I can’t wait to try this one. Have a great day sweet friend.
Kari @ Me and My Captain
thanks Kari, just use regular sprouts if you can’t find purple ones, I thought they tasted just the same~
WOW!!! I would just eat the bacon wrapped B sprouts as an appetizer!!! Great idea!
Thanks Mimi, we did have these for appetizers, all you need is cocktail forks or some frilly toothpicks and you could keep them warm in a chafing dish for a party
Bacon makes everything taste better! 👍 Looks delish, Jenna! ☺️
Oh what a fabulous Holiday Appetizer! This will be made for our next party …that we will attend soon!
Now this sounds very tasty. Is the sauce both a little sweet and tart? Will have to give it a try for Christmas! Pinned!
Jenna, this really looks delicious. The cranberry orange glaze paired with the Brussels and bacon is a winner in my book, this is a must try!
I adore Brussel Sprouts, though a lot of people are not lovers. These sound amazing!
yes, it’s funny how people either love them or hate them!
This sounds like a wonderful sauce. I’ve never tried a cranberry sauce with brussel sprouts, but I would love to. Thanks for sharing your recipe on MM.
