Sweet and Sour Slow Cooker Sausage

Day 3 and another Sausage recipe......

One of the reasons I like the WW plan so much is that nothing is off the menu....I can have just about anything I want....its all about making compromises....and in this recipe thats what I've done....originally made with Smoked sausage (mmmm....yummy but containing ridiculous amount of fat and points) I've tinkered a bit.....used Tesco Healthy Living Cumberland Sausage, substituted Truvia for dark brown sugar and I replaced half the amount of ketchup it required with a small tin of chopped tomatoes to get the points down .....I didn't bother reducing the amounts to make one portion for me....I've frozen the rest for later!!!

 The original recipe from KKNOPF at KKNOPF at all recipes indicates that there are 8 servings and that it should be used as a side dish....I haven't done that....I did 4 portions and had it as a main...served over courgetti....as such the smart points are 7...and a word of warning ......I made it with 2 teaspoons of Tabasco sauce as the recipe suggested and it was really nice....but if you are a bit nervous of spicy food then maybe 1 teaspoon might be enough
