      Tinned apricots blitzed
      Remember to look in the canned/long life juice section not the canned fruit section

    Quick, delicious & easy! Used beef sausages could not get chicken but lovely!

    Made this using herb/garlic chicken sausages~Perfect
    Added carrot & broccoli to bulk it out a bit more & served with cauliflower rice
    I reckon this would be so tasty with curried chicken sausages

  6. This was a huge hit with my family and will definitely make again.
    I think next time I may add a can of halved Apricots just to enhance that apricot flavour.
    Served with mash and green beans

    Had this for dinner last night and it was delicious, family favourite ?

  8. I’ve cooked this twice in the past few weeks, was a huge hit with my family.
    Got to admit, I was a bit dubious but … wow. Delicious, and I am not really a sausage fan but my family love them! I love them like this!
    Served with mash potato and steamed veggies!
    4 clean plates was all that was left!

    Loved by the whole family! We use chicken chipolatas, a large tin of apricots and add a bit of curry powder. Pop in some frozen veg towards the end.

    Oh my goodness! How delicious is this recipe. The only thing different I did was cut up the sausages and didn’t cook it for the full five hours. This was absolutely delicious. We served it with brown rice. Huge fan and so simple. Thank you!

  12. Hi
    I’ve run out of time today… could I do this on high for 2.5-3hours instead of 5hours low? Thanks ?

    absolutely delicious.

    i had a mixture of honey sausages & beef sausages as i am not a fan of chicken snags.

    highly recommend and will add it to the roster!

    With mum and myself this recipe is definitely a winner. Mum enjoyed it so much she asked when was I making it again lol.

    I cooked this for the 1st time tonight but I originally was going to cook sausage obsession til I realised I had chicken snags out instead of beef πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ it was a nice change but I still prefer apricot chicken/curry but I’m still glad I tried this 😊 coz you never know til you try 😁
