This awesome slow cooker or sauce pot kielbasa is made with grape jelly and ketchup. It may sound gross but it tastes good! You can substitute any cooked sausage or cocktail franks for kielbasa.

Pour ketchup and jelly into a slow cooker. Turn the heat to a medium temperature, stir occasionally while the jelly and ketchup melt together. When the mixture forms into a thin glaze, add the kielbasa and cook until the kielbasa is hot.


This is a really good BASE recipe.  For people without a severe sweet tooth, this could definitely be way too much sweet, with not enough spice.  However, I altered this slightly, to compensate, and found this wonderful combo.  I only used 1 pound of Kielbasa, so keep that in mind. What ended up in the sauce was: 1 cup ketchup, 3/4 cup grape jelly, 1/4 spicy brown mustard, 1 1/2 TBSP Wostershire, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and 3 TBSP savory BBQ sauce(I used America's Choice Kansas City Style).  The result is currently disappearing from the pan, it never made it to a dish.  Thanks for a good starter recipe!

My friend made this for a Christmas party we went to back in December 2005. But instead of using ketchup and grape jelly, he used barbecue sauce and grape jelly. He then served it on top of plain cooked white rice. It was Awesome! and everyone was asking him for the receipe!!! 

So if you want to try something different, then use barbecue sauce as a substitute for ketchup and trying serving it on top of some cooked white rice!!!

I use the lil' smokies and made this recipe two different ways one with ketchup and jelly and the other with BBQ sauce and jelly. My friends and family all seem to like the BBQ and jelly the best.

So this is a pretty popular recipe, but I make it slightly different.  Instead of Ketchup, use Chili Sauce.  Yes, Heinz makes that too...same aisle in your grocery store.  Seriously tho, it's not quite as "tomato-y", (can guys use that word?) as the Ketchup and still comes out really good.  The Grape Jelly has all the sweet you need, so Chili Sauce is a nice balance.  Also, just throw it all in together and let it meld.  The juices from the Kielbasa make the glaze quite killer.  I'd go just a tad longer on the cooking time too.  At least an hour or two.  Come back and thank me later.

I liked this recipe. I added 2T of Worcestershire sauce for more "kick". I've used Worcestershire sauce ketchup and grape jelly with premade frozen meatballs before (the ones in the grocery store). I thought this variation was great. The meatballs are always the first to go at the buffet table. I can't wait to try this variation on my guests!

I like this sauce better with meatballs not on the kielbasa. I took this to a party and two people sugested I use 2 sm jars of currant flavored jelly and 2 table spoons yellow mustard. I will give that a try but I would not make this sauce with kielbasa again.

Men love this and I've seen some ladies also eat forkfuls of this. Only change I make is to swap out the ketchup for barbeque sauce for a more piquant flavor.

This is a great recipe. I am a chef and needed somthing real quick and did'nt have time to go to store. I used meatballs and it was a hit at my party.

This was one of the favorites at our Superbowl get together. I will definitely be making these again for other parties. Thank you marli.
