How to Make Sweet N Spicy Sausage

  1. In a large skillet, cook sausage links over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
  2. If needed, wipe out excess grease from skillet leaving about 1 tablespoon of rendered sausage fat in the pan.
  3. Add the hot pepper jelly to the skillet. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes, or until melted and smooth.
  4. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Gently toss to coat the sausage in the pepper jelly, cooking for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
  5. Serve immediately. Enjoy as a breakfast side, brunch item, or delicious appetizer!
