Slow Cooker Bourbon Glazed Kielbasa
Description
Slow Cooker Bourbon Glazed Kielbasa involves placing sliced kielbasa or smoked sausage in a slow cooker and covering it with apricot preserves, chili sauce, and bourbon. Cooking the mixture on low heat for 3 to 4 hours allows the kielbasa to warm through and the glaze to thicken, coating each slice with a combination of sweet, tangy, and subtly boozy flavors.
The result is sausage with a tender but firm texture and a sticky, flavorful coating that balances the savory meatiness with fruit sweetness and a touch of spice from the chili sauce. The bourbon adds depth without overwhelming the other ingredients.
This dish serves well warm as a finger food for gatherings or as part of a casual meal. It requires minimal preparation and offers a convenient way to enjoy a lightly glazed, flavorful sausage.
Ingredients
- 2 rings kielbasa or smoked sausage, sliced into rounds, 14 ounces each
- 1 ¼ cups apricot preserves 400 g
- 1 jar chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
Instructions
- To the bowl of a slow cooker, add the sliced kielbasa.
- Pour the apricot preserves, chili sauce, and bourbon over the kielbasa slices. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until heated through.
- Serve warm.
