Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz cocktail sausages
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (in juice)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine and set over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce.
Cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
Add the cocktail sausages and pineapple chunks into the saucepan, stirring to coat them evenly with the sauce.
Lower the heat and let everything simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are heated through and the flavors meld together.
Transfer the sweet and sour cocktail dogs with pineapple to a serving dish or keep warm in a slow cooker for parties.
Serve with cocktail picks or skewers for easy grabbing!
