This recipe was originally in a cookbook my sweetie had which called out all sorts of Name Brand ingredients. It also called for making kebabs of the mix and grilling them. We decided we'd rather have a stir-fry or fry-up all in one pan. I ate mine with a slice of bread, but over pasta or rice would also work.

Ingredients

• 12 ounce smoked ring sausage (Hillshire Farms Smoked Turkey Sausage is what we used, but use what you like), cut into ½ inch pieces
• 1 C dried apricots, halved
• 1 can beer (12 oz)
• ¾ C apricot preserves
• 1 Tbsp mustard (we used dijon, but yellow will also work)
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp red chile powder (we prefer Chimayó )
• 2 apples, peeled and chopped
• 2 – 6oz cans sliced mushrooms, drained or ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

Directions

• Simmer sausage & apricots in beer in a large saucepan or skillet for 10 minutes
• If using fresh mushrooms, add them about 5 minutes in
• Combine apricot preserves, mustard, chile and Worcestershire sauce in a microwave-safe measuring glass, and heat briefly (enough that the preserves liquify) in microwave, then stir and set aside
• Add apples & mushrooms to sausage mixture
• Add sauce to sausage mixture
• Simmer until apples are going soft and sauce has thickened to desired consistency.
