Spicy Sausage Appetizer Recipe

This unusual sausage appetizer recipe features sausages in a blanket of bacon, filled with an apricot and jalapeno mix that creates a deliciously unlikely marriage of foods, and a terrific party appetizer recipe.

Sausage in a Blanket

1/2 cup apricot preserves
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
12 medium size or 6 large sausages*
12 slices bacon

*One slice of bacon should cover the link when wound end to end. For dinner-size sausages, use 2 pieces of bacon.

In a medium bowl, stir together the apricot preserves, jalapenos, and cayenne. Set aside.

Cut a deep slit lengthwise into each of the sausages without cutting all the way through.

Wind a strip of bacon around the sausages and transfer them to a broiler pan.

Bake them in a preheated 375° oven until the sausages are heated through and the bacon is crisp, about 20 minutes. Broil the sausages for the last few minutes of cooking, if desired.

Cut each sausage into 3-6 equal pieces; spear with a pick and serve warm.

Makes 36 appetizers.
