Sausage Bites with Fig Mustard
- Total Time: 19 minutes
- Yield: 6 -8 1x
Description
In this Sausage Bites with Fig Mustard recipe, the combination of the mustard with fig is superb, and perfectly matches with sausage bites and pretzels. The flavor is sweet but at the same time tangy. It also goes very well with dried cured meats.
Instructions
- Cook the sausage links in a saute pan.
- Once cool, slice into ½ inch circles. When you are ready to serve, insert a pretzel into the sausage round (think of it like a toothpick) so that the pretzel is standing straight up.
- Plate and serve with the fig mustard.
- Prep Time: 7 minutes

I want to try this tomorrow, I’ll will be ordering the sauce but I have fig jam at home. I wonder if I can concoct a dip with that and some nice mustard. I’ll have to report back how it comes out.

Hi Courtney. Yes, that sounds like a plan. Sorry for the late reply. How did it turn out? If you didn't already make your own fig mustard, I would say to use a little more mustard than fig jam, maybe 1/3 jam + 2/3 mustard. If you made it and it turned out great, do let us know what proportions you used.
