Ingredients

• 2 pounds Smoked sausage (e.g., kielbasa or pre-cooked sausage links)
• 4 cups White vinegar
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 cups White sugar
• 2 tablespoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Pickling spice mix
• 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves (peeled and smashed)
• 1 large Yellow onion (sliced into rings)
• 2 pieces Jalapeños (optional for extra heat, sliced)

Directions

Step 1

1. Slice the smoked sausages into 3-inch pieces if they are large. Leave smaller sausages whole if desired.

Step 2

2. In a large pot, combine the white vinegar, water, white sugar, salt, pickling spice mix, crushed red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.

Step 3

3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for 2 minutes to fully develop the flavors.

Step 4

4. In a large, sterilized glass jar or airtight container, layer the smoked sausage pieces, garlic cloves, onion rings, and optional jalapeño slices.

Step 5

5. Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the sausage mixture, ensuring all the ingredients are fully submerged. If necessary, use a clean utensil to press the sausages down.

Step 6

6. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then seal the jar or container tightly with a lid.

Step 7

7. Place the jar in the refrigerator and let the sausages pickle for at least 3 days before serving. For optimal flavor, let them marinate for up to a week.

Step 8

8. Serve the pickled sausages chilled or at room temperature as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
