Glazed Kielbasa Bites

Made this using Reeds Ginger Brew, which is a very sweet, gingery ginger ale, and it turned out great! To those whose ginger ale did not reduce - a higher sugar content probably helps, and then you just have to boil off almost all of the water and carmelize the sugar, no matter how long that takes. (made this a second time with a different ginger ale, and the results were not as good, even though I simmered the liquid until it was almost gone). Using a higher temperature worked for me, as I kept an eye on the pan and stirred frequently. The kielbasa was glazed in thick ginger goodness! One thing I may try next time is reducing the ginger ale a little before adding the sausage slices, so they won't get overcooked. This is a great alternative to the ubiquitous bbq "party weenies" that always get brought to parties around here. Thanks!

This was great, I think. My DD and her BF ate them right out of the pan while they were cooling! I had only 1lb so I reduced the ginger ale in the sauce pan quite a bit before adding the kielbasa. They did get a beautiful glaze. The one I did taste was yummy! I will keep Vernors and kielbasa in the house just in case I need a quick and delicious appy. Thanks so much.

Thanks Elaine for such an easy delicious dish. The ginger ale added a light sweet flavor to the sausage, but was not overpowering. I may not have cooked the sauce long enough as it never turned into a thick glaze, but that did not seem to to affect the taste in any way. I will make these again at my next potluck. Thanks for the post. Made for PAC, 2011.

you can better believe when I saw this recipe, I said to myself; self this cannot be right!!! This was soooooooo different and luscious that I said to myself; "Holy Cow". Delightful delicious and different. Oops donot forget easy.<br/><br/>Thanks ElaineAnn from Pat Merwin

I made these for DH and my lunch today, along with some German Fried Potatoes. I used 1/2 lb. smoked sausage and 3 oz. of the ginger ale.<br/>I agree that it adds a subtle sweetness, which was just perfect, as I am not a fan of really sweet glazes. This is so simple and just 2 ingredients, love it!!! Made for your win in the football pool.
