These sticky cocktail sausages are perfect for parties! They’re coated in a sweet and tangy glaze made with orange marmalade, cranberry sauce, and lime juice. The sauce thickens as they bake, turning into a glossy, flavorful coating. An easy and delicious appetizer everyone will love!
Ingredients Needed:
- 50 grams fine cut or shredless orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce (from a jar)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 splash of vodka (optional)
- 50 cocktail sausages (uncooked)
How To Make Cosmo Cocktail Sausages?
- Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 200°C. Line a roasting tin with foil.
- Make the glaze: In a bowl, whisk together orange marmalade, cranberry sauce, lime juice, and vodka (if using).
- Coat the sausages: Place the sausages in the tin, pour the glaze over them, and toss to coat evenly.
- Bake until caramelized: Roast for 50 minutes to 1 hour, shaking the tin after 25 minutes. The sauce will thicken and coat the sausages beautifully.
Recipe Tips:
- Use a Lined Baking Tin: Always line your roasting tin with foil. The glaze gets very sticky as it bakes, and the foil makes cleanup much easier.
- Mix the Glaze Well: Make sure the marmalade, cranberry sauce, and lime juice are fully combined before pouring over the sausages. This helps the flavor spread evenly.
- Turn the Sausages Halfway: Shake the tin or turn the sausages with tongs after 25 minutes to coat them in the thickening glaze and prevent uneven cooking.
- Don’t Worry About the Liquid: The glaze will look very thin at first, but it thickens while baking. Just be patient, and you’ll get a perfect sticky coating!
- Let Them Rest Before Serving: Once baked, let the sausages sit for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the glaze stick better and makes them extra flavorful.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the Cosmo Cocktail Sausages cool down first. Then, put them in a sealed container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Set the air fryer to 180°C and heat the sausages for 3-5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even reheating.
