Cut the ends off of the brussel sprouts and slice them in half.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil.
Once oil is hot add brussel sprouts and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the pan every few minutes for even browning, then uncover and cook for 10 more minutes until a fork can easily pierce the brussels and they are slightly browned.
Add balsamic syrup and toss to coat. Remove from heat and stir in blue cheese, cranberries and pecans.
