Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces sausage links
- 0.5 cup apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Place the sausage links in the skillet and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned and cooked through. Alternatively, you can grill them if preferred.
While the sausages are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, about 3–4 minutes.
Bring the glaze to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 2–3 minutes to slightly thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the sausage links are browned and cooked, reduce the skillet heat to low. Pour the apricot mustard glaze over the sausages in the skillet.
Toss the sausages gently to coat them evenly in the glaze, cooking for an additional 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Transfer the glazed sausage links to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or alongside your favorite sides.
