Ingredients

  • A bottle of ketchup weighing 14 ounces
  • 3 tablespoons of rich dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of bright white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of prepared yellow mustard (like French's®)
  • ¼ teaspoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon of delicate ground cloves
  • 2 packages of cocktail-size smoked link sausages (like Hillshire Farm Lit'l Smokies ®) each weighing 16 ounces

Step 1

Combine the rich flavors of ketchup, brown sugar, tangy vinegar, zesty mustard, warm cinnamon, and aromatic cloves in a saucepan. Let this delightful mixture simmer gently over low heat until it's thoroughly warmed through, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Next, gently introduce the sausages into the mix and let them soak in all the delicious goodness. Allow the sausages to heat up completely, ensuring they are cooked to perfection. Remember to stir occasionally to evenly distribute the flavors, and in approximately 25 minutes, you'll have a scrumptious dish ready to be enjoyed.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your savory mini sausages fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help preserve their delicious flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  2. 2. For longer-term storage, consider freezing your mini sausages. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, making sure to remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
