Sweet & Sour Kielbasa

Submitted by GrammaJeanne

"Kielbasa & pineapple make a great combination in the simple, but very tasty dish. I got the recipe from my boss about 12 years ago and have used it many times since. Serve hot as an appetizer or as the entree for a light dinner with a salad."

I made this as an appetizer for a cocktail party and they were a big smash! I served them with coctail pics and placed a piece of pineapple on top of a piece of sausage. They were easy to grab and everyone thought they were great. Thank you for a really good recipe.

This was good and easy to make! I added some onion, sweet peppers, and sliced manderine orange to the meat and pineapple. I subbed 1/4 c brown sugar for the 1/2c white, only added 3tsp of cider vinegar, and omitted the salt. I managed to sneak the vinegar past my hubby who HATES it, and said he would eat it again. Thats a winner in my book!! Oh, the last 10 minutes of cook time I turned the oven to 425F, and stirred the mix. Came out awfully pretty!

Yummy! I made this for a dinner party and everyone raved! I baked it until it was on the thick side so it wasn't runny for serving. Very simple and yummo! I didn't change anything.

My family wasn't crazy about this one and it made so much! However, I sent it with my husband to work and his buddy liked it so I guess it will work for some but not for my picky family!

My family was thrilled when I brought this to the table for dinner. They love Kielbasa. I added one green pepper and one yellow onion, chopped into about 1" pieces. It cooked up beautifully, and I served it over rice.
