Ingredients

• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 12 oz. package mini smoked sausages, patted dry
• 12 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thirds
• 1/2 cup pineapple preserves
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

Directions

1. Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360. Wrap each sausage with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

2. Bring the preserves and barbecue sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan. Keep warm over low heat.

3. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Working in batches, add the sausages to the hot oil and fry until the bacon is browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet using a slotted spoon. Return the oil to 360 between batches.

4. Remove the toothpicks and toss the sausages with the pineapple barbecue sauce.
