Candied Sausage Food

BROWN SUGAR GLAZED KIELBASA (ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS!)

Steps:

• In a nonstick skillet, add sausage and brown over medium high heat for about 4-5 minutes. Pour coca-cola and brown sugar into the skillet. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low.
• Stir and simmer anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes. (All stoves are different. On my stove, it takes about 30 minutes for these to caramelize. I've made these at friends' houses and it has taken 10 minutes. You have to eye ball it. You know your stove better than I do. What you're looking for is a thick, caramelized consistency so keep stirring until it becomes a thick glaze.)
• Once the cola and brown sugar mixture become a glaze over the sliced sausages, remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer sausages to a plate and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. The sausages will be VERY HOT, please be careful. Enjoy!

CANDIED SAUSAGE (POOR MAN'S TERIYAKI)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Prick your sausages all over so's to aid in the release of the fatty juices.
• Mix flour, salt and pepper in a small bowl. (I usually just use a cereal bowl.).
• Roll the sausages in the flour mixture until covered.
• Place all sausages on a broiling pan and place on middle rack in oven. Bake for about 40 minutes. Turning sausages over after 20 minutes.
• Put brown sugar in a small bowl. I usually use the same bowl I used for the flour.
• Add the soy sauce. You want to make the brown sugar into a paste. So you may need to decrease or increase the amount listed.
• (I usually just pour from the bottle so I am not definite on the measurement.).
• Mix in the lemon juice.
• Then add the spices. These can be adjusted according to taste. (I sometimes put as much as double the spices in.).
• Using a pastry brush, coat the tops and sides of the sausages with the brown sugar mixture. Make sure you leave enough in the bowl to coat the sausages at least once more.
• Leave the sausages in for another 10 minutes.
• Then turn them all over. Coat them with some more sauce. Let cook for 10 more minutes.
• At this point, some would consider the sausages done. You can take them out now and enjoy them. Or you can keep coating and turning the sausages until they are done to your preference. (We like ours cooked to the point where the start to shrivel -- I know, weird.).
