How to Make Party Sausage Balls
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 (12-ounce) jar of apple jelly and 1/4 cup Dijon mustard.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apple jelly is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound of breakfast sausage and 1 pound of Italian sausage. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Carefully add the sausage balls to the simmering apple jelly and mustard mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring gently every 5-7 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Test a sausage ball by cutting it in half to check for doneness. The inside should be cooked through.
- Once cooked, the sausage balls will be coated in a beautiful, glossy glaze.
- Remove the sausage balls from the sauce with a slotted spoon and place them on a serving platter. Serve immediately with toothpicks.
- (Optional) For extra dipping sauce, reserve some of the cooking liquid and serve it in a small bowl alongside the sausage balls.
