"I made this recipe for my mother's birthday over 20 years ago. Everyone loved the Brussels sprouts! Then I lost the recipe. Recently as I was going through my mother's recipe cards, I found the copy I made for her. I had forgotten what an attractive dish this is. It is as good as I remember and best of all, it still gets rave reviews!" — Diane

Directions

Fill a large pot 3/4 full of water and bring to a rolling boil. Add Brussels sprouts and carrots, bring back to a boil, and cook vegetables until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Add beef consomme, apple juice, cornstarch, lemon juice, brown sugar, and cloves. Cook, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Fold Brussels sprouts and carrots into sauce.

The carrots were good, but the brussel sprouts were just ok. I'd make this again with just the carrots

The sauce was a little thick, so I thinned it out with a little more apple juice and another good squeeze of lemon. Made exactly as written, tasted, and then added a little more cloves to suit our tastes. We love fresh brussels sprouts, so I'm always looking for new recipes; this was a nice change of pace.
