Sweet and Spicy Sausage Balls

This is one of my favorite recipes handed down from my mother in-law.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds bulk hot Italian sausage
• 0.5 cup red wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps

1. Roll sausage into 100 very small balls using no more than 1 1/2 teaspoons meat per ball.
2. Stir red wine vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, and ground ginger together in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook at a simmer until beginning to thicken, about 15 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Fry sausage balls in batches in the hot skillet until browned on all sides and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Remove cooked sausage balls with a slotted spoon to the saucepan and stir into the sauce to coat.
