No need for bacon, balsamic vinegar or any of the other additives listed above, and no boiling, sautee-ing, frying or barbeque-ing. Just lightly steam 'em till they're cooked but still a tad crunchy, season with salt and pepper, then add a generous dollop of turkey-giblet gravy.

Ambrosia!

(BTW, no need to cut that daft cross in them that seems to have become a fad, it's totally superfluous - they cook just as well without it).

IMHO of course! HAPPY CHRISTMAS!   :-)
