Bacon and Brussels Sprout Salad

20 (or so) brussels sprouts cut in half
8 slices of bacon (preferably thick cut)
1/3 c. golden raisins
2 T. sunflower seeds
Splash of red wine vinegar
Salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the bacon slices onto a pan with sides and bake for 20 minutes. After twenty minutes, check for doneness every successive three minutes till crispy. Remove from the pan and reserve the excess fat. Dress the brussels sprouts with reserved bacon fat to cover and pour the rest of the bacon fat into a bowl of the golden raisins. Season the sprouts with salt and place into the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. Periodically, shake the pan to keep the sprouts from sticking. Meanwhile chop the bacon. Remove the sprouts and combine the golden raisins, sunflower seeds, and bacon. Stir to combine. Place back into the oven for 5 minutes and remove. Enjoy warm or cold!
