I made this for Dinner tonight in the crock pot and served over white rice. I did change the recipe slightly. I added onions & green peppers (just because I love them), I also used tomato sauce and ketchup, and 1 lb of the kielbasa was chipotle kielbasa. It was delicious! Though, a little too sweet for the Hubbeast. Next time I make it I will cut back on the brown sugar some to please his palate (it was fine for me though). Thank you for a yummy recipe!

I used a large can of tropical fruit (pineapple and papaya) And half the brown sugar. It came out fantastic. The papapya was sweet and delicious. I served it with with steamed rice. Plan to make often.

This was a winner! Now, everytime someone is having a casual party, I recommend it to them. It's so easy and grown-ups and kids alike love it. I get the longer toothpicks with the little plastic fringe stuff on the top and put some of the sausage out on a tray, run around (mingling!!), come back and put some more out to replenish the tray. I might try adding those little smoked sausages for variety next time. They don't even need cutting up. The sauce is great like a sweet and sour sauce but more sweet. "As is" makes a very economical dish (less than $10!) with absolutely no trouble in the preparation. It really doesn't take the whole 4-5 hours on low since kielbasa is already cooked. So, if you're in a pinch for time, probably a couple hours to warm through is enough and just leave it on low until they're gone! Thanks for another Good-n-EZ party food!

We really liked this. Even my picky toddler ate it which is enough to warrant 5 stars in my mind! I only had 1 lb. of kielbasa, so I cut all ingredients in half except the pineapple, so mine had extra pineapple and juice. I liked it that way and would do it again. I served it over rice, but I can see where it would make a good appetizer for a party. I did measure my sugar a little scantly because of the complaints of being too sweet that I read on here. I also made sure that my pineapple was unsweetened. I'm thinking if you have sweetened pineapple you should probably cut back on the sugar.
