Need I say more?  let’s prepare some delicious kielbasa bites….
In case you haven’t heard, kielbasa is the Polish and Ukrainian sausage.
In English, these words refer to a particular genre of sausage, common to all Central and Eastern European, but in Poland or Ukrainian these are the generic words for all types of sausage, local or foreign.
And i’m just about to stop talking , and you go ahead stack several slices of kielbasa on toothpicks and set out for your guests to enjoy.
If you like slow cooker party bites, our Crock Pot Italian Meatballs use the same hands off method with a marinara and parmesan twist, another good one to set out for guests.

- 1/2 cup dijon mustard
Instructions

- Combine apricot preserves and dijon mustard in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Combine everything in the crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours.
- Serve immediately.
What about all the grease that comes out of the sausage?
Same here. I actually have it in a crock pot right now and i bumped it up to high because it looks like it needs to cook off some of the grease.
This looks really good and I am going to try it. I love Polish sausage and Kielbasa! I think that I will sear mine on both sides after cutting into bite sizes. I like the taste better after searing and it should cook off some of the fat.
Anyone try this one on the stove top?
Trying it now on the stove top, my crocket is in use making Hot Chocolate.
How many servings does this make?
Hi Megan,
It serves 10-12 as an appetizer.
Can you use strawberry preserves in place of the apricot?
Would this work with honey mustard instead of dijon? No one in my family cares for dijon mustard.

Thank you so much and I would appreciate to hear from you soon,

I boil my sausage first this helps take care of the greasy fat problem.
I do that too, with all sausage 🙂
Never thought of that but your right that would help alot
I made this recipe this past Thanksgiving to bring. Everyone loved it especially my brother who went nuts over it.
Cut it on the diagonal that is how Polish people cut Polish sausage. Just a tip
This is an extremely easy appetizer to make and everyone ALWAYS goes crazy over it! Especially the guys! Its not at all greasy and the longer it sits in the sauce and cooks, even better. If you like smoked sausage make this. You won’t be disappointed.
I made this for Christmas eve. The boys went crazy for it. Though I used raspberry mustard, was a hit.
I made this recipe using brats. Cooked the brats then mixed up the sauce and combined. I had MANY compliments on the flavors. Definitely will use this again. Thanks much!
Made this for a wedding appetizer and it was the first thing to be eaten up. Making it for a baby shower and expect it to be a hit again!
This is a great appetizer that I make for summer cookouts. It is gluten free which is nice for large gatherings.! I’m making it for a Christmas Eve celebration. I don’t have any issues with grease. Just stir before serving.
