Sweet & Sour (and Spicy!) Kielbasa Bites

A huge hit for parties, game days and movie nights, our sausage bites offer a little something for everyone, so don’t be surprised if they disappear in flash! The best part is how simple they are to make. Our recipe serves about four people as an appetizer, so adjust accordingly if you have some hearty appetites at your table. This is also fantastic when served over rice with some crunchy fresh cucumber slices and sliced sweet bell peppers alongside.

2 lb Kielbasa (all-beef), sliced into bite size chunks
2 c fresh pineapple, chopped, reserving juice
6 oz pineapple juice
6 oz (about half a jar) apricot preserves
2 T Dijon mustard
2 T soy sauce, GF
2 t crushed red chili flakes (or less, to taste)
1 bunch green onions, chopped

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the sausage chunks until lightly browned. Set aside. Add pineapple to the pan and brown lightly, then add pineapple to the sausage and set aside. Finally, add to the pan pineapple juice, preserves, mustard, soy sauce and chili flakes, then bring to a simmer. Add sausage and pineapple back to the pan, warm and remove from heat. Serve on picks, garnished with chopped green onions.
