1

Set oven control to broil. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Spray broiler rack and pan with cooking spray. Cut each bacon slice crosswise into 3 pieces. Wrap each piece around 1 sausage, securing with toothpick; place on rack in pan.
2

Broil with tops about 6 inches from heat 12 to 16 minutes, turning once, until bacon is crisp.

Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly.
4

Heat oven to 350°F. Transfer sausages from broiler pan to baking dish. Pour sauce over sausages; turn to coat with sauce.

Bake about 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve hot.

Make these mini sausages up to 2 hours ahead. Do not heat oven, but follow the directions through step 4; cover and refrigerate. Bake when you're ready to serve them.
Add holiday flair by serving the sausages with festive toothpicks.
