Baked Summer Sausage With Apricot Mustard Glaze Food

BAKED SUMMER SAUSAGE WITH APRICOT MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325F.
• Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, mix the apricot jam, Dijon mustard and brown sugar.
• Slice the summer sausage three quarters of the way through (accordion style) into 1/8-inch slices, so the slices are connected at the bottom.
• Put the summer sausage on a baking sheet and brush with half of the glaze. Get some of the glaze in between the slices by using a pastry brush or a spoon. Reserve the remaining glaze.
• Put the summer sausage in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove the summer sausage from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze. At this point, the spaces between the slices should have opened and it will be easy to get the glaze in between the slices.
• Put the summer sausage back in the oven and bake for 20 more minutes.
• Serve this glazed summer sausage warm (it can be reheated in a microwave if needed).

APRICOT-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the apricot jam, mustard, vinegar and lots of black pepper in the jam jar or a mason jar. Shake until well blended.
• Use the glaze like you would a BBQ sauce. Brush on or pour over pieces of grilled or pan-seared chicken, pork chop or salmon just before it's done cooking and let cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

BAKED SUMMER SAUSAGE WITH APRICOT MUSTARD GLAZE RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl, mix the apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and the brown sugar together. Slice the summer sausage three quarters of the way through (so the bottom is connected) into 1/8" slices. Place the summer sausage into a baking dish. Brush the sausage with half of the glaze, making sure that some of the glaze gets between the slices. Reserve remaining sauce. Bake the summer sausage for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze. Bake for 20 minutes more. (I do not always bake that long. Use your judgement so it is not dry). Serve warm. It may be reheated in the microwave if needed.
