Bacon-Wrapped Smoked Sausage with Spicy Cane Syrup Glaze
 
 
Serves: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 8 to 9 slices bacon, halved crosswise
  • 1 (16-ounce) package smoked sausage, cut into 1½-inch pieces
  • ½ cup cane syrup
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle chile powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
Instructions
  1. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each piece of sausage. Working in batches, cook, seam-side down, until bacon is browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let drain on paper towels.
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl combine cane syrup, butter, paprika, and chipotle powder. Cover and microwave on high in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until butter is melted (30 to 45 seconds total). Stir in pecans until well combined.
  3. Transfer bacon-wrapped sausages to a serving platter, and spoon a little glaze over each. Serve with remaining glaze for dipping.
