Crock Pot Kielbasa Appetizer

This sweet and savory appetizer comes together with just THREE ingredients! What could be easier than throwing ingredients into the slow cooker? That’s the beauty of this easy kielbasa recipe. Here’s what to do:

• Slice kielbasa into bite size rounds and add them to the Crock Pot.  I like to use all beef kielbasa sausage but you can use any kind you like. Some other delicious alternatives are turkey sausage, pork, spicy or mild, just about any kind will do. It comes in a u-shape package in the meat section of your grocery store.
• Add a cup or so of your favorite barbecue sauce. My go to is always Sweet Baby Ray’s.
• Then stir in the star ingredient of this show: Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Jalapeño Fruit Spread. I’m so in love with this new flavor from Smucker’s. It is really fun to experiment with for all kinds of recipes. Smucker’s has really done a fabulous job balancing the sweet and spice in this spread. You first taste the flavor of sweet, fresh strawberry and then the mild heat of the jalapeño comes through.
• Let it all simmer in the slow cooker for two to three hours until serving time.

Suggestions for Serving

• Offer your guests a plate of these sweet and savory bites with some colorful toothpicks and the crowd will go wild!
• I also love to eat these kielbasa bites over a cracker with some Strawberry Jalapeño cream cheese. The cream cheese spread is really easy to make. It’s just cream cheese and Smucker’s Fruit & Honey Strawberry Jalapeño Fruit Spread. That’s it! You’ll have plenty of fruit spread left from making the Kielbasa bites so all you need is some crackers and cream cheese and you are good to go.
• Spread the strawberry jalapeno cream cheese over bagels, on toast, just about anything! So yummy!
