 I saw this in Bon Appetit yesterday and decided to
 keep it.  I'll bet a dollar to a doughnut that the
 recipe originally called for Linguica, but was changed
 to kielbasa for the masses.  If you can't find smoked
 Linguica or Kielbasa, Andouille would also be a good
 substitute. I hope to try this when it gets cooler
 (like October -- grin)!  Hope it appeals to you, too.

 Number of Servings:   8

 Combine all ingredients in large pot.  Bring to boil,
 stirring occasionally.  Reduce heat; simmer until
 thick, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.  Season
 with pepper.  (Can be prepared 2 days ahead;
 refrigerate.  Rewarm before serving.)
