KIELBASA ON TOASTED BUNS WITH HOT APRICOT MUSTARD

1 package (6 links) regular or light cooked kielbasa links

Hot apricot mustard (recipe follows)

HOT APRICOT MUSTARD

"This sauce can be made a day in advance and reheated when needed."

1 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup hot mustard
4 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

Place apricot preserves in small saucepan. With kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, chop up any large pieces of apricot. Set pan over medium heat and whisk constantly until liquefied. Whisk in mustard and continue to cook until mixture becomes almost translucent and starts to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chopped rosemary. Cool, cover and refrigerate. To reheat, stir over low heat until warmed.
