Whisk all BBQ sauce ingredients together in a bowl and bring sauce to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer sauce for 20 minutes or until thickened. In a separate skillet, add sliced Eckrich sausage with a little olive oil and brown lightly. Once sauce is thickened add sausage is cooked, combine the two into a small crockpot and put temperature on low. Serve with toothpicks or set out slider buns to make mini sandwiches.
