Sweet and Sour Sausage - a great go-to party dish

This is an all-time favorite of mine. I make this everytime we have a party with a large number of people. It is quick and easy although, the vinegar smell lasts awhile in the house. I always make it at least a day ahead and the day of the party, throw it in the crockpot.

Sweet and Sour Sausage
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 cans (13.25 oz. each) pineapple tidbits
2/3 cup vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1.5 - 2 pounds turkey kielbasa (or whatever kind of precooked sausage your store has) sliced into 3/4 inch rounds.

Mix brown sugar and cornstarch in a dutch oven. Stir in pineapple (with juice), vinegar and soy sauce. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Reduce heat, add sausage and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes. Cool, cover and store in refrigerator until you are ready to transfer it to a crockpot to heat up and keep warm.

p.s. The original recipe was for a dinner entree with meatballs instead of sausage. If you want to make this for a dinner, cut the recipe in half, use homemade or those meatballs you can buy frozen and serve it over rice.
