Glazed sweet sausage bites with a spicy kick. Worthy of a wedding reception, but humble and easy enough for game day appetizers. Recipe adapted from Jacques Pepin's More Fast Food My Way.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 c. Cranberry, Pomegranate Juice
  • 2 tbsp. Spicy Ketchup or Chipotle Sauce
  • 1 tbsp. Maple Syrup
  • a few dashes of Tabasco Sauce
  • 13 oz. Chicken sausage, cut into rounds

Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Combine the juice, ketchup or chipotle sauce, maple syrup, and tabasco in medium skillet.

  2. 2

    Bring mixture to a boil. Let boil 4-5 minutes or until syrup begins to form.

  3. 3

    Taste the syrup. If you like more spice, add a few more dashes of tabasco. If it's too spicy, add a little more maple syrup.

  4. 4

    Add the slices of sausage to the syrup. Cook the sausages on high heat. Turn a few times so the syrup covers all sides well.

  5. 5

    Continue cooking until the syrup reduces almost completely and coats the sausages completely. About 5-8 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve with toothpicks and enjoy!
