Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the orange juice concentrate, lemon juice, rice vinegar, orange zest, garlic powder, nutmeg, and brown sugar; stir to dissolve the sugar.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water to make a smooth paste.

Step 6

Remove the sausages from the sauce with a slotted spoon and place into a serving dish. Pour the sauce into a saucepan.
