- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup cider
- 2 smoked link sausages
Instructions:
-
Prepare Glaze: In a large frying pan, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves.
-
Cook Glaze: Stir in apple juice (cider) and cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
-
Add Sausages: Cut smoked link sausages into bite-sized chunks and add them to the glaze mixture, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.
-
Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and let the sausages simmer in the glaze for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated thoroughly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
-
Serve: Once the sausages are heated through and the glaze has thickened further, remove from heat and serve hot, either as an appetizer for parties or as a quick and satisfying dinner dish.
Tips:
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of sausages or adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.
- Presentation: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Accompaniments: Serve alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or a crisp salad to round out the meal.
