Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Grill the Sausages:
- Place the sausages on the grill and cook over medium-hot coals for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. They should be nicely browned and cooked through.
-
Prepare the Mustard Cranberry Sauce:
- While the sausages are grilling, in a bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, cranberry sauce, sugar, and red wine vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Apply the Sauce:
- About 5 minutes before the sausages are done, brush a generous amount of the mustard cranberry sauce over them. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to caramelize slightly on the sausages.
-
Serve:
- Remove the sausages from the grill and serve hot. Optionally, provide extra mustard cranberry sauce on the side for dipping.
Recipe Notes:
- Variations: You can adjust the sweetness and spiciness of the sauce by varying the amount of sugar and mustard.
- Side Dish Ideas: Serve these barbecued piglets with a side of coleslaw, grilled vegetables, or a simple green salad to balance out the flavors.
- Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
