#1966 - Boiled and Baked Sausage

(by Shirley McNevich)

3lbs. fresh or smoked sausage (leave it in the casing)
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup Heinz ketchup
4 tsp. white sugar
1 tsp. French's yellow mustard
1 tsp. celery salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. pepper
4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup water
2 tsp. cider vinegar

Fill a Dutch oven halfway with water--bring water to a boil. Use the tongs of a fork to prick a few holes all over both sides of each piece of sausage. Place sausage links in boiling water and boil them for 5 minutes. Drain the water off of the sausage--return sausage to the Dutch oven. In a bowl add chopped onions, pepper, ketchup, white sugar, mustard, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, 3/4 cup water and cider vinegar--stir. Pour the sauce mixture over the sausage pieces in the Dutch oven. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven--turn each sausage piece on the other side. Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes longer.
