Ingredients
- 16 oz Little Smokies (cocktail sausages)
- 1 cup Cherry preserves
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cherry preserves, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Stir well to create a smooth sauce.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Once the sauce is simmering, add the Little Smokies to the saucepan. Stir to ensure the sausages are evenly coated in the sauce.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to evenly heat the sausages.
Step 5
After 15 minutes, remove the lid and let the smokies cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.
