Jalapeño-Cherry Coke Sausage Bites
makes 8 to 10 servings
Game Changer
Omit the cherry preserves & the co-cola. Substitute orange marmalade & ginger ale to change the flavors instantly for an equally tasty appetizer.
2 lbs Conecuh sausage, sliced
1 cup cherry preserves
1 {7.5-oz} can co-cola
3 Tbsp deli-style mustard with horseradish
2 to 3 fresh jalapeños, sliced
Brown the sausage, in batches, in a large non-stick skillet over Medium-High heat, about 8 minutes. Drain well & return to the skillet. Stir together the preserves, the co-cola & the mustard. Pour over the sausage & add the jalapeños. Cook over Medium-High heat 10 to 15 minutes or until the mixture reduces to the consistency of maple syrup. Keep warm in a slow cooker.
The Extra Point
Toss any leftovers over hot cooked rice with some salted peppers & onions for a quick weeknight meal.

How To Gage The Heat Of Jalapeños
A little know-how goes a long way when spice levels come into play. Most of the heat from jalapeños come from the seeds & membrane. Follow these tips to add just the right amount.
The Technique
Mild
Remove the seeds & the membrane.
Moderate
Remove half of the seeds & add the membrane.
Medium
Add all of the seeds & add the membrane.
Hot
Add the entire jalapeño.
