@saltysprig: Apple Cider BBQ Little Smokies Serves: 8–10 as an appetizer Slow Cooker: 2–3 quart (about 2–3 litre) Ingredients 24 oz (680 g) fully cooked cocktail sausages 1½ cups (360 mL) apple cider ¾ cup (180 mL) BBQ sauce 2 Tbsp (30 mL) apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp Dijon mustard ½ tsp smoked paprika ½ tsp black pepper ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, optional 1 Tbsp (15 g) butter Instructions Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan. Bring to a lively simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced from 1½ cups (360 mL) to about ½ cup (120 mL). This will take approximately 10–25 minutes, but go by volume rather than time so the cider doesn’t reduce too far. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne if using. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted. Add the cocktail sausages to a 2–3 quart (2–3 litre) slow cooker. Pour the apple cider BBQ sauce over the sausages and stir to coat. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours, or until the sausages are heated through and the sauce is hot and glossy. Stir once or twice during cooking if desired. Switch the slow cooker to WARM for serving. Faster option: Cook on HIGH, checking after about 1 hour, and continue until heated through. Serve warm with toothpicks and enjoy! #appleciderbbqlittlesmokies #appleciderlittlesmokie #littlesmokies #appetizers #fallrecipes
