Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1–2 pounds kielbasa sausage
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup barbecue sauce
• 1–2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional, for tang)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
• A pinch of black pepper or chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Kielbasa

Start by slicing the kielbasa into bite-sized rounds, about 1–2 cm thick. Try to keep them evenly sized so they cook consistently.

If you prefer smaller bites, you can cut the rounds in half.

2. Preheat and Set Up

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking—this glaze gets very sticky once cooked.

3. Make the Glaze

In a mixing bowl, combine:

• Brown sugar
• Barbecue sauce
• Dijon mustard (if using)
• Maple syrup or honey

Stir until everything is well blended. The mixture should be thick and glossy.
