Description

A tantalizing blend of sweet and spicy flavors featuring juicy lil smokies, vibrant pineapple, and a kick of jalapeño sauce, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package lil smokies sausages
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by creating the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Stir until well blended.
  2. Heat a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add the lil smokies and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the pineapple chunks and diced jalapeños.
  4. Pour the glaze over the smokies and fruit, ensuring even coating.
  5. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and glaze is sticky.
  6. Serve warm as an appetizer, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Make the glaze a day in advance for deeper flavors. For a crispy version, try using an air fryer at 375°F for 10 minutes.
