Lit’l Smokies in Grape Jelly Sauce
by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
It is something of a tradition here to make the grape jelly and chili sauce appies every holiday season, and we enjoy it with Lit’l Smokies, tiny weenies or even meatballs. I think my daughter would not forgive if I didn’t make them, but now that she’s grown, they are easy enough to make on her own.
And for the Secret Recipe Club, I am doing an extra post this month for holiday goodies. All the bloggers involved were assigned another SRC blog and we take to scouring those blogs for our favorites. This time my assigned blog was Cheese Curd in Paradise. written by Ashley Lecker out of Green Bay Wisconsin.
Besides recipes, I am sure we can agree on sports, we being Packer Backers (Green Bay Packer fans) and whatnot. My better half even hails from Milwaukee. So we have roots in all that. Or he does and I am adopted in as an honorary Cheesehead.
Ashley has gads of recipes to drool over so head on over and check them out. I chose her recipe for Crockpot Little Smokies, adapting them to the stovetop, which I find just as easy, and keeping them warm in a little crock. I am still eyeballing the sugared cranberries to put on tiny cheesecakes, and over forty recipes for soup with my name on them for the chilly winter months ahead as well. It’s a goldmine!

An oldie but a goodie! Love these and make them every year too.
Thanks!
I’ve made similar but used mustard with the jelly. This sounds better to me!
I’ve never had the mustard, have seen a few different variations on it though. Most of those are pretty good.
I had your blog for today’s reveal. We loved the sweet potato pie. It was my first time with that pie. Happy Reveal Day!
Glad you liked it! It is very much like a pumpkin pie, in my mind.
What a great SRC choice this month. I don’t think I’ve ever had Little Smokies in grape sauce. Must add it to my food bucket list. Happy Holidays!
Thanks. I first had it years ago. Such an easy recipe!
What temp do you cook these on? Low, medium, high?
Low to med-low, not high enough to burn the sugars.
These are always a huge hit. Great choice for the Holiday season.
Thanks!
These look delicious. I always go straight for these and the meatballs at holiday parties.
They are popular, aren’t they? And for good reason!
Mmm that sauce is a perfect party favorite.
Thanks! I couldn’t agree more!
