Ingredient Notes:
BBQ Sauce: Choose an 18-oz bottle if you like a lot of sauce. Use a BBQ sauce you enjoy the taste of, as this will be the main flavor. I like Stubbs sauces best, but have also used store brand varieties in a pinch and they tasted perfectly fine. You can also use a bottle of sweet chili sauce in place of the BBQ sauce, if you prefer! Grape Jelly: I used Smuckers Natural, but you can use pretty much any grape jelly you have on hand. If the thought of grape jelly with BBQ sauce weirds you out, feel free to use 1/2 cup brown sugar instead. You can add 1/4 to 1/2 cup brown sugar even with the grape jelly, if you want to go for an even stronger sweet/savory combo. Sausages: I just used a package of store brand smoked appetizer sausages. Whichever you use, just make sure they’re smoked for the best flavor. If you can’t find mini sausages, you can also cut up regular sausages, but do not cut into round coins if serving to young children!Â
