How to Make Slow Simmered Sweet And Sour Kielbasa

In a large saucepan, combine 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
While the sauce simmers, cut 1 pound kielbasa into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Add the sliced kielbasa to the simmering sauce. Stir gently to coat.
Cover the saucepan and continue to cook on low heat for approximately 50-55 minutes, or until the kielbasa is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside your favorite party dishes. Enjoy!
