I made these over the weekend for a pot luck. Everyone seemed to enjoy them! I added pineapple chunks and cherries for some color.

I used this sauce with Hillshire Farms Lit'l Smokey Sausages. Delicious little dogs and a great choice for my buffet table for the holidays!

I made these for our office Christmas party yesterday. Loved the bit of heat with the sweet. Everyone else did too because I went home with an empty crock pot!
