Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds Conecuh brand original spicy smoked sausage
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
3 to 4 tablespoons Creole mustard
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

Cut sausage into bite-size slices, 1/2 to 1-inch thick. In a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat, add the sliced sausage and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer about 5 minutes to render some of the fat. Drain off the liquid and lightly brown the sausage. Remove sausages from skillet to drain on paper towels. Set aside. In a medium pot over medium heat, bring the pineapple and the juice, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, salt, and red peppers to a boil, stirring constantly; then reduce heat by 1 mark and let boil for 5 to 6 minutes or until sauce is reduced and thickened somewhat, stirring frequently. Add the sausage to the sauce and continue to simmer a few more minutes to heat through and thicken the sauce as desired. Transfer to a serving dish or a small crock pot set on warm setting. Use toothpicks to serve sausages.
