For me, Christmas is synonymous with traditions. We bring back old classics that never go out of style, but that we wouldn't want to see at another time of year. That's the fun of Christmas. We give ourselves the impression that it's evolving, but it's always the same thing. Just watch Christmas movies. It's always the same story, but with different toys and absent fathers who think that only at Christmas can they make up for it.
Anyway, it's Christmas, and I also wanted to revisit a classic. The good old cocktail sausages in maple syrup. Those good old cocktail sausages in maple syrup that you threw yourself into with your cousins when you were a kid. They were good, they were hot dogs, they were full of sugar. After that you weren't hungry for dry turkey or ottoca... Atoka... Hathoqua... the red thing in a can that thinks it's beets.
If you're an adult and you're feeling nostalgic, try this recipe and go throw yourself on the bed full of coats and scream like there's no tomorrow. Rub your face in your aunt's fur coat who married a rich guy and fall asleep despite the fact that you told yourself that this year you'd stay awake until you saw Santa Claus. I'm telling you, it feels good.
Servings: 8 people
Preparation time: 5 min
Cooking time: 30 min
Ingredients:
-2 packs of cocktail sausages or 24 commercial hot dog sausages.
-1/4 cup yellow mustard
-3 tablespoons of Kansas BBQ Quebec spices .
-1 cup of maple syrup
-125 g of butter
-1 cup of Bourbon Maple BBQ Quebec sauce
-Optional: A few sips of bourbon.
Steps:
-Preheat your BBQ or smoker to 350 degrees F.
-Coat the sausages with mustard and add the Kansas spices. The mustard helps the spices adhere to the sausage.
-Cook or smoke sausages until cooked through and lightly browned.
-If you have cocktail sausages, you won't even need to dirty knives. If you have taken hot dog sausages. You will dirty a knife, I'm sorry. Cut the sausages into pieces the size of cocktail sausages. If you are a perfectionist, you can round the ends to make it look like you bought cocktail sausages.
-Place the sausage pieces in an aluminum baking pan and add the maple syrup, cubed butter and Bourbon Maple sauce.
Optional:
-Uncork the bottle of Bourbon. Take a sip and pour a sip on the sausages. Repeat 2 to 3 times. If people are watching, you can say: One for you… one for me…
-The author of these lines is not responsible for the more or less fine sense of humor of your guests. Try at your own risk.
-Replace the aluminum drip pan in the BBQ or smoker at 350 degrees F using indirect cooking.
-Stir occasionally. It is ready when the mixture has thickened.
Merry Christmas and namaste-BQ!
