Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp of authentic maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup of rich dark brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp of zesty Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp of sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp of fiery cayenne pepper (if desired)
  • 1 package of Hillshire Farm Lit'l SmokiesĀ® Smoked Sausage, 14 oz
  • 1/2 cup of finely chopped salted pistachios

Step 1

In a non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat, mix together the delightful flavors of maple syrup, brown sugar, tangy mustard, a pinch of salt, and a hint of cayenne. Introduce the Lit'l Smokies smoked sausages into the bubbling mixture and let it all simmer gently.

Allow them to cool slightly before embarking on a delightful journey of flavor by dipping them into a crunchy coating of pistachios. Experience the joy of serving these delectable treats warm, indulging in the harmonious blend of sweet, savory, and nutty notes.
