Steps:
- Parboil sausages in a large saucepan 10 minutes.
- Drain sausages.
- Combine first 8 ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil, simmer for 10 mins, if you require sauce a little thicker add some cornflour mixed with water at this stage.
- To serve you can either simmer some sliced sausages in the sauce to coat or otherwise grill the sausages brushing with the sauce while cooking.
Tips:
- Choose the right sausages: For best results, use a good-quality sausage with a high meat content. Avoid sausages that are too fatty or have a lot of fillers.
- Use fresh apricots: Fresh apricots will give your glaze the best flavor. If you can't find fresh apricots, you can use frozen or canned apricots, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The apricot glaze can be made up to a day in advance. This will save you time on the day you're cooking the sausages.
- Cook the sausages over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning or drying out.
- Baste the sausages frequently with the glaze: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the sausages immediately: Apricot glazed sausages are best served hot off the grill or out of the oven.

Apricot glazed sausages are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a summer cookout, a casual dinner party, or even a weeknight meal.
