Polish Appetizer

L-Burden's Note:

This is a MUST at every holiday in our family. I suggest doubling the recipe...it always goes fast!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 lb kielbasa
• 1 cup apricot preserves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• ¼ teaspoon ginger powder

Directions:

1. In a medium sauce pan, combine all ingredients except kielbasa. Mix well, and cook over low heat until well balanced (clear and smooth).
2. Cut kielbasa into bite size pieces.
3. Add kielbasa and heat thoroughly.
4. Make sure heat is low, and cook for at least an hour until the sauce cooks down. The longer it cooks, the better.

I let the sauce cook in the crockpot until it was smooth and clear, and then browned the sausage before adding it. I think this would be too sweet for me to eat a lot at once, but delicious in smaller amounts and very easy. I might try adding a little bit of red pepper or using a spicy sausage next time to counter some of the sweetness, but very good as is. Thanks for sharing.

This is the best! When I first put everything together, I wasn't so sure, but after combining everything, I let it set on low in the crockpot. After about two hours, it smelled and tasted so good! My husband eats the leftovers (if there are any) with breakfast until it is gone. I have used apricot preserves and pineapple jam, and also the peach jam from Peach Jam, and they all have turned out great.

These sausages were excellent! I learned the hard way not to put them in a crockpot unless you have a warm setting on it. They tasted so good when I put them in but not so good after they were in the crockpot on low for a while! I am rating this on the taste before I put them in the crockpot. They were great!
