Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Brush this herb mixture evenly over 6 reindeer sausage links.
Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill sausages for 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 160°F and the skins are crisp and browned.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup lingonberry jam, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 2 tbsp water. Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes until warmed through and slightly thickened.
Step 4: Serve grilled sausages hot with lingonberry sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
