Maple–Brown Sugar Smoked Sausage Bites
48 servings
1 hour, 5 minutes total (Active 20 minutes)

Ingredients

  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons white wine (or apple cider) vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
  • 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 package smoked sausage (14–16 oz)
  • 1 lb bacon
  • Toothpicks (optional)

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with foil; top with oven-safe wire rack if desired.
    2. Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, vinegar, mustard, and pepper in small saucepan; whisk to blend. Cook on medium-low 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved.
    3. Meanwhile, cut sausage in half lengthwise, then into 1-inch-thick pieces. Cut bacon slices into thirds; wrap 1 piece bacon around each piece sausage. Arrange seam-side down on baking sheet (wash hands).
    4. Bake 30 minutes. Baste with brown sugar mixture; bake 10 more minutes until bacon is crisp and sausages are 160°F. Let stand 5 minutes to cool. Baste again with brown sugar mixture. Serve with toothpicks, if using.
