This is an old favorite recipe for serving at holiday
parties because it’s quick and easy to make while being quite popular with
guests. Sometimes, however, I prefer to serve it as a main dish for my husband
and I (it makes a little bit more than the two of us can eat but it’s great for
a leftovers lunch the next day). Although it may sound strange to add jelly to
the sauce, try it before you knock it; it’s quite yummy!
Lil Smokies in Barbecue Sauce
¼ cup finely minced white or yellow onion
1 one-pound package Lil Smokies (Hillshire Farm brand, for instance) sausage
½ cup ketchup
2 T. corn syrup
1 T. prepared yellow mustard
1 t. chili powder
½ t. ground cumin
2 T. grape jelly (or seedless jam, such as blackberry)
1 t. Tabasco sauce
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
In a small crockpot, add minced onions and turn heat to
high. Allow onions to cook for a few minutes, until they begin to soften. Add
remaining ingredients and turn heat to low. Simmer for an hour or so, until
heated through and the flavors have been allowed to meld. Taste and adjust
sauce as necessary.
Serves 3 – 4 as main dish, 8 as appetizer
