An absolutely fantastic recipe to start with -- modify to your own taste. I live in the Middle East and cannot get pork sausage -- Penrose stopped making their great sausages. This recipe was a great find. However, I can only get turkey kielbasa here -- no prob -- and it can be spiced up to your liking and favorite bar snack flavor. My friends love them and they go great with cold beer.
Modification for beer drinker's palette was such -- I have a two liter, old fashion mason jar with the rubber ring and metal lock:
3 lbs of Hilshire Farms Turkey Polska Kielbasa 1 small onion eliminated the water 1 Tablespoon brown sugar 4 cups white vinegar 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes 1 T pickling spice 4 cloves garlic 6 thai chilies - cut into 1/2 inch pieces few dashes of your favorite hot sauce 2 Tablespoons salt
Thank you so much for posting your original recipe. It was a great find!

Found these lacking in the garlic flavor most pickled sausages have,will add lots of garlic to make this more appealing to us. Will also add some cayenne to make these a little more manley in flavor.
3 stars, needs work.

This was just what I was looking for in a recipe for pickled sausage. I took the advice of some of the other reviewer and cut back on the brown sugar using just a 1/2 cup. I added a crushed clove of garlic into each quart jar and minced two cloves of garlic to the liquid. I made them yesterday and tested one this morning. These are better than anything I've had store bought. Thanks for a great basic recipe for pickled sausages.

This is a great recipe. I make it for our Legion and everyone loves them. I am going to try adding garlic to them this time.

Mmmmm Pot Scrubber these were wonderful. The only thing I did was to make half this recipe, all else was the same. I wanted to test them first before making too many. They were absolutely delicious. Sorry I didn't do full recipe. Think I will make some for my Dad for Christmas, he will love them. I used the Lil Smokies sausages. Worked out really well. Thanks again for the post.

Potsie, Dugan isn't the only one who can't keep his hands off these delicious pickled sausages. I made them two ways -- one with pork cocktail sausages and the other with fresh sausages I poached first. The first were a hit with the ladies (more of an appetizer); the latter with the guys -- they were lumberjack sausages (that was the name on the package) and the men all went for those. These are terrific! I made a batch and they were all gone in 1/2 hour when our family tried them, so I made three more jarsful to serve this weekend when we had a bunch of people over to watch football games. They are tangy, spicy and addicting. I added one clove of garlic to each jar and decreased the brown sugar a bit. They are definitely on my list of the best of the best snacks for any occasion. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. Everyone who has tried it has loved it.

VERY nice snack. I used dried Hatch peppers from New Mexico and upped the quantity a little (used a whole pepper).

Hubby said 2 stars but I say 3... I love the onions but the rest is a bit too sweet for us. I'll probably make these again and omit or seriously decrease the brown sugar. I used both beef cocktail sausages and kielbasa. Thanks for sharing this neat idea.

Pot Scrubber, I have been dying to try one of your recipes as I love the stories you have to tell about each recipe. I took these to a party of about 25 including adults, teenagers and kids. People started asking me for the recipe even before the Mason jar was opened! These were gone REALLY fast and all ages loved them. One of the Nebraska women suggested adding some sliced fresh jalapeno and I think I will try that when I make them again next week for my company picnic. Thanks for the really easy, great recipe and the wonderful stories!

I made these for a campout that we organized for our local SCA group. I got 2 quarts using little smokies and they both went in a heart beat. The funny thing is that after I put the liquid in the jars I realized that I forgot the brown sugar. Didn't seem to matter, they loved them anyway. Also, I wanted to note that mine got cloudy at first. I believe that the hot liquid melted some of the fat in the sausages but they did clear up.

I can't believe I forgot to review these wonderful sausages. I made 3 jars of these in Dec of last year and my DH devoured one jar by himself in one day then the next day he was off and running from neighbor to neighbor giving out samples (ONLY ONE SAUSAGE TO EACH MIND YOU) but just enough for there to be requests from them for there own jars. Love your page Pot Scrubber love the pics I visit your page quite often to see if any updates. definitely lovin the babies take care of each other and thanks for the delicious recipe .

These did not go over well in our home. Nothing bad about them.. just personal tastes I guess.

I usually like any kind of pickle and I also like sausage, but this just wasn't to my liking. Maybe it was the fact that the sausage was cold and a little greasy that the taste and texture didn't appeal to me.

These had a wonderful flavor, but I must have done something wrong, I purchased a "name brand" kielbasa, but after waiting 24 hours, when I took them from the fridge, all the grease from the meat was floating in the brine and left a greasy film on the onions. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?

I now know what all the fuss is about!! These little babies are addictive!! I made them over the weekend...4 small jars to give to friends as little gifts, and 1 BIG jar for ME!! I can't stop eating them!! If I go into the kitchen, I eat one!! I would have to agree, the longer they soak the better; but WHO could just leave them alone?? I am already getting requests for these for Christmas! Thank you for sharing this "gem" of a recipe!! I also used little cocktail weinners with WONDERFUL results!! Tell Dugan he has great taste!! Robin
