Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces cocktail sausages
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, apricot preserves, brown sugar, smoked paprika, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Add the cocktail sausages to the saucepan, ensuring they are fully coated in the glaze.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sausages in the glaze for about 20–25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even coating.
Transfer the coated sausages to a serving dish and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
Serve warm with toothpicks for easy grabbing, and enjoy your Fruity Smokies!
