PARTY FRANKS



Party Franks image

These tiny, tangy appetizers have broad appeal. I prepare them often for holiday gatherings, weddings and family reunions. They're convenient to serve at parties since the sauce can be made ahead and then reheated with the franks before serving. -Lucille Howell, Portland, Oregon

PARTY FRANKS



Party Franks image

This is a very old sweet and sour cocktail recipe; I remember looking forward to it as a kid at my Mom's holiday parties. It will look horrible and smell worse when first in the pan, but just wait. Don't ever tell what's in the sauce until after your guests have tasted it (otherwise they'll never try it). Serve with toothpicks; keep warm with a fondue pot.

1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

GLAZED COCKTAIL FRANKS



Glazed Cocktail Franks image

When I was stationed in Germany in 1980, this recipe was given to me by my unit commander's wife (Karen Earlewine). You can substitute cut-up hot dogs for the cocktail franks.

Provided by Cyndi Holman @MtnCook

Categories     Meat Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

20 ounce(s) can pineapple chunks
16 ounce(s) can sauerkraut
15 ounce(s) can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground pepper
1 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
1 tablespoon(s) brown sugar
2-3 pound(s) cocktail franks or little smokies
10 ounce(s) jar current or cherry jelly

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple juice into a large saucepan. To the juice, add sauerkraut, tomato sauce, pepper, ginger, and sugar. Simmer 30 minutes.
  • Add cocktail franks, jelly, and pineapple. Cook until jelly melts and franks are hot.
  • This can be cooked in a crockpot - just combine all the ingredients and cook on low for 3-4 hours.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocktail franks. Look for plump, evenly-sized franks that are free of blemishes.
  • Score the franks before cooking. This will help the glaze adhere better and allow the franks to cook more evenly.
  • Cook the franks until they are slightly caramelized. This will give them a delicious crispy exterior and a tender, juicy interior.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time. This will save you time when you're ready to cook the franks.
  • Experiment with different glazes. There are endless possibilities, so have fun and find the one you like best.
  • Serve the franks immediately. They are best when hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Glazed cocktail franks are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give glazed cocktail franks a try. You won't be disappointed!
