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
- Parboil sausages in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes. This helps them cook evenly and prevents bursting.
- Remove sausages from saucepan and drain well.
- 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.
- 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
