Ingredients for Apricot Glazed Sausages

  • Beef Sausages
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Oil
  • 1 cup apricot nectar (leftover is ideal)
  • Beef Stock
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Dried Basil
  • Tomato Paste
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour (optional, for thickening)

How to Make Apricot Glazed Sausages

  1. Parboil sausages in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes. This helps them cook evenly and prevents bursting.
  2. Remove sausages from saucepan and drain well.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup apricot nectar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened. If a thicker sauce is desired, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. To serve: You can either simmer the parboiled sausages in the apricot glaze for 5-7 minutes to fully coat them, or grill the sausages for 5-7 minutes, basting frequently with the glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
