Yields: 24 pieces

Good day and welcome back to all my canna chefs out there, I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving this year, it is my favorite holiday, and I love all the delicious food. Now it’s December and time for more holidaze to celebrate. This year I want to do my bacon-wrapped sausages with a maple glaze sauce. It’s a quick, easy and delicious recipe for you to enjoy this holiday season.

INGREDIENTS

24 Pork Sausage links

24 Slices of Bacon

Mary Jane’s Maple BBQ Sauce

¼ Medium Yellow Onion, finely chopped

1 ½ tbsp Canna Butter

⅓ C Maple Syrup

2 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1 tbsp. Soy Sauce

1 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

1 8oz can Tomato Sauce

¾ cup Brown Sugar

¾ tsp Garlic Powder

½ tsp Chili Powder

1 tsp Paprika

½ tsp Salt

DIRECTIONS

1) First, let’s get the oven pre-heated to 350 degrees F and have a baking tray ready. Next, take the sausages and wrap each one in a single piece of bacon, leaving just the edges of the sausages still exposed. What I like about this recipe is how you can make it your own by adding just a few of your favorite ingredients. One of my favorite things to add is caramelized onions to the sausage then wrap it in bacon, you can also use peppers. Mustard is something else you can add to the sausage before you wrap it up to add a little extra flavor. Mix and match what you like and be creative.

2) For this recipe, we are keeping it simple and adding a delicious sweet maple brown sugar BBQ sauce for dipping. When wrapping the sausage I like to make sure the ends of the bacon are on the bottom of the sausage to ensure it stays on. Place the sausages on the baking tray and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until fully cooked. While the sausages are cooking it’s a great time to start the sauce. In a pot melt the cannabutter and add the finely chopped onions, cook the onions until they start to lightly brown, then add the rest of the ingredients and mix. Bring it to a boil and stir, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.

3) Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, if you want a sauce with a little more kick try adding a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the mix or even your favorite hot sauce. I also like to brush a little sauce over the sausages and then toss them on the grill for a couple of minutes to help caramelize the sauce. I like to serve the sausages by cutting them in half and skewering them with toothpicks served with warm sauce.
