Ah, summer sausage. That salty, tangy taste brings back sunny memories. This type of sausage is cured and fermented and can be typically stored unopened without refrigeration for a long time. But it's not inherently bad for you in moderation.
We paired 1/2 - 1 inch slices of summer sausage with a dab of cream cheese and a dried apricot. Sweet, salty, smoky goodness in a bite-size tidbit. Quick and easy to make and oh, so tasty to eat!
