Spice up your appetizer spread with some sweet and sour flavors! These tangy sausage balls are great for a party buffet spread or for tailgating. They are made with bulk Italian pork or turkey sausage and dried cranberries. I simply adore small bite-sized finger meals, and these fit the bill. If desired, turn down the heat and substitute sweet Italian sausage for the hot Italian sausage to add some added heat. You will savor the tart flavor the cranberries add in any case!

Turned out great, second batch I reduced coffee by half, both were real tasty!
Yummy and easy to make, I give this as often as gifts and people are always delighted.
mixed everything in blender and it curdled, had to filter it several times before it was smooth. thought waste of good whiskey
Awesome recipe. It is always in our fridge during cabin season. I half the almond extract. I have also made it with spiced rum instead of whiskey which was excellent. Try adding a cinnamon stick to the bottle for another twist.
Instead of using instant coffee, I just added a cup of extra strong brewed coffee. I also used light cream instead of heavy cream, and omitted the almond extract as my wife doesn’t like it, I also didn’t blend it – I just mixed everything together in a pitcher before pouring it into the leftover Baileys Cream bottle.
Easy and awesome!! Makes a great holiday gift that people will love in their Christmas morning coffee. Thanks!!
Changed the recipe slightly, used full cream milk instead of cream but stuck with the rest of the recipe. Used Teelings Irish whisky and ground Cuban coffee Good long slow blend and this was great after being chilled for about 4 hours, liked it better than Baileys !
This sounds delicious! I’ll just close my eyes to the fat and calories. It’s St. Patsy’s day, Right? Back n track tomorrow. Thx!!!!
This is a great recipe! No egg, no split! Put all the ingredients (except the whiskey) in the blender. Low speed. Then, slowly added the whiskey. It did not split! Needed a little sugar. Try THIS one!
This was great LOVED that there is no raw egg in it! I also substituted almond extract for mint and added a bit more chocolate, half of it was gone before i got it into the fridge:D
Tried the recipe using some Bushmills 10 year old, drank right from the blender over ice. Not much difference between this and the bottled stuff. Going to start a second batch while I finish this glass….
