Hey Y’all,
So it turns out I’m not so great at this whole blogging thing… by that I mean I haven’t made an entry since like March… fail for me. So I’m going to try to get caught up tonight.
Some of you have seen my earlier post about the Origami Owl Jewelry that my sister is selling. Well she did a jewelry bar for me and I thought I’d share some of the recipes I used for the party food!
These are especially great for college kids like me because a) they don’t take much more than a couple ingredients so it’s cheap! and b) they come together super fast and easy.
First:
Lil Crockpot Smokies – Bourbon Style 🙂
So this one is awesome.
Ingredients:
1 16 oz package of cocktail weiners
1/2 c apricot preserves
1/4 c maple syrup
1/3 c bbq sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray’s Hickory-Brown Sugar)
1 tbsp bourbon or orange juice (I used Jack Daniels)
I’m absolutely a sucker for Sweet Baby Rays, but this recipe still works wonderfully with cheap kroger brand stuff. It’s all delish. Though I wouldn’t dream of turning down Mr. Beam… 😉
In a bowl, mix the apricot preserves, maple syrup, bbq, and bourbon together until smooth. Pour over weiners in your crockpot. Turn the crockpot on low and let it warm and get all bourbony-yummy for about 4 hours. I actually doubled this recipe and it was perfect for a 10-12 person get-together.
Unfortunately I stupidly forgot to take a picture of the smokies with the sauce on it before it got eaten… but just imagine this a little darker and…. wet? haha
Enjoy!
