Little Smokies In Cherry Preserves - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb Little Smokies sausage
1 (12 ounce) jar cherry preserves, small jar that's approx 10-12 oz will do. The jars around here are 18 oz and I use about 3/4 for a p

Preparation

Bring little smokies and the preserves to a low boil and then simmer for about 5-10 minutes or until the jelly thickens a little. Stir occasionally to keep from burning or sticking.
We put them in a serving dish if they are going to be eaten fairly quickly. If to be left out for guests to graze on for awhile, then we puy them in a fondue pot (or sometimes we set out an electric skillet on low) to keep warm.
Easily doubled or tripled for large crowds.
Note - two 18 ounce jars of preserves and 3 packages of smokies do well for a large batch.
