Baked Salami

I found this baked salami recipe years ago. I first thought it was strange but decided to keep it anyway. I have made this many times, and it is one of the first appetizers to go! It is simple enough for football parties or nice enough for cocktail parties. Be careful when you slice the salami so that all the slices are on the same side; the salami tends to twist! Serve with crackers.

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 (2 pound) whole salami, casing removed
• 1 (16 ounce) bottle prepared barbecue sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Partially slice salami into 1/4-inch-thick slices, making sure the cuts do not go all the way through. Place salami into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Bake salami for 1 hour. Drain off grease.

Step 4

Mix brown sugar and barbecue sauce together in a bowl, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour about 2 cups sauce over salami; reserve the remainder for basting.

Step 5

Return salami to the oven and bake for 45 minutes more, basting occasionally with reserved sauce.

Step 6

Serve baked salami on a platter with a knife so guests can cut their own slices.
