I make this often but prefer sliced Chicken Apple Sausage browned in a small amount of butter. Everyone loves it. It's also very quick to heat the sauce ingredients in the same pan used to brown the sausage after wiping it out. I then put the sausage into the sauce to heat up. Pour heated sausage into a chafing dish or small crockpot to keep warm while serving.

It's such an easy appetizer. I halved the sauce ingredients and still had plenty of the sweet, sticky stuff!

I took the suggestion of another reviewer and served this over rice with a side of green beans. Really easy and delicious!

I love making appetizers and this is always a "go to" for me. It's fast and easy. My quests love it. It's a keeper.

Very good favor. I used turkey summer sausage, instead of kielbasa and it was a big hit at our church potluck.

I have already made this recipe over and over for just about every get-to-gether that we have. it is a hit with everyone and we look forward to it at every event. We have even used sugar-free apricot preserves to make it more suitable for diabetics.

Made this as an entree, it was "good", not great, I think if I make it again, it would be just for an appetizer
