Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds smoked sausage or kielbasa, cut into bite-size rounds Choose smoked sausage for best flavor.
  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce Use spicy barbecue sauce for added heat, if desired.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the smoked sausage or kielbasa with the apricot preserves and barbecue sauce.
  2. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
  3. Cook for about twenty minutes, or until the sausage is heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
  4. Serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat on low heat or in a microwave. For a healthier option, use turkey or chicken sausage. Add chopped green onions or bell peppers for extra flavor. Consider adding chopped pineapple for a fruitier twist or use other types of preserves like peach or mango for variety.
