Simple Glazed Kielbasa Food

GLAZED KIELBASA

Steps:

MAPLE AND APPLE GLAZED KIELBASA

Steps:

• Heat saucepan on stove on medium heat. In a bowl, combine in this order: syrup, brown sugar, apple cider, and water. Whisk until smooth consistency and pour into saucepan for 5-7 minutes, stirring often. (Be sure not to bring mixture to a boil). In a medium skillet, bring to medium-high heat and add oil. Next, add slices of kielbasa and fry until just golden brown and hot. Drain any excess oil. Remove saucepan with syrup mixture and gradually pour over kielbasa in skillet being careful not to splatter. Simmer for about 8 minutes or until syrup adds a nice "glaze." Cooking too long can burn the syrup and cause a poor glaze. Toss in crumbled pieces of bacon and remove from heat. Let sit for 1-2 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite rice or sweet potatoes and a vegetable.

GLAZED KIELBASA BITES

Steps:

• Cut kielbasa into 2-inch slices. Place in a large skillet with the ginger ale (regular, this does not work with diet ginger ale).
• Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium. Do not cover pan.
• After 15 to 20 minutes, ginger ale will be reduced and start to caramelize.
• WATCH CAREFULLY because you don't want it to burn.
• At this point, keep stirring until chunks are glazed.
• Serve on a platter with toothpicks inserted. They are sticky and yummy!

SIMPLE GLAZED KIELBASA

Steps:

• Cut the kielbasa into 3/8" thick slices at an angle .
• Heat a non stick pan to a medium high heat, or if you don't have a non-stick can add a bit of cooking oil. Add sausage slices and cook until desired look.
• Add just a splash of white wine to coat the bottom of the pan. Probably a 1/2 cup.
• Add a handful of brown sugar, 1/4 cup will work. More or less you decide.
• Add mustard to sausage pieces. I used Dijon mustard, my preference to mustard. Add some dry parsley, about a 1/2 teaspoons more or less.
• Stir and let the sausages cook for about 10 minutes on low. These ingredients will thicken quickly.
• Do not over cook or the sauce will burn easily.
• So good, so simple.
