Glazed Pineapple Kielbasa Bites

By dmscott52

First tried 2-3-2019- Super Bowl Sunday app. great. Made extra sauce for dipping.
Makes about 2 dozen.

Ingredients

• FOR THE GLAZE:
• 1 ( 14 oz.) regular Kielbasa, sliced
• 1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks, reserve juice
• 3 T. Teriyaki sauce
• 1 T. sweet chili sauce
• 1 T. honey
• 1 T. pineapple juice (from can)
• fro garnish: plain toothpicks

Preparation

Step 1

1. Soak your toothpicks in water for 20 minutes before baking. Be sure to use plain ( not colored) toothpicks. I learned from experience that the colored toothpicks will bleed and discolor the food.
2.Preheat oven to 425 F. degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Place a piece of pineapple in tip of a slice of kielbasa and place on the parchment lined pan. (I wait to put the toothpicks in until after I glaze. The reason being that if you get glaze on the tops of the toothpicks, it will burn in the oven.)
4. In a small bowl combine glaze ingredients.*** Glaze the kielbasa and pineapple bites. Stick each portion with a plain toothpick.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until hot. Let cool slightly and serve warm.
*** I made extra batch of sauce for dipping.
