Take a bigger bite out of life! Every day is a holiday with BiteMeMore.com.

Watch your backs, fussy, flaky puff pastries. Slash your prices, conceited caviar because today is National Salami Day.

Ingredients

7 cups kosher beef salami, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 1/2 cups Heinz chili sauce
1 cup apricot jam
2 lemons, juiced
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 350°F.

2) Place cubed salami in a 13×9-inch baking dish.

3) In a medium bowl, whisk chili sauce, jam, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over salami.

4) Bake uncovered, stirring every 20 minutes, for 11/2 to 2 hours, until the sauce is reduced by half and thickened. Serve with toothpicks.
