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.

Mom's Tangy Mustard Sauce for Cocktail Franks image

Another of my Mom's recipes from our neighbor, Helene. It has a powerful sweet and tangy taste. This is nice with mini cooked cocktail franks or as a dipping sauce for "pigs in blankets." You can keep it warm in a crockpot. We like Ba-Tampte brand mustard or Hebrew National.

Franks in Peanut Butter and Chutney image

The sauce can be used with any frank or wiener. Using cocktail wieners would be more elegant than cut-up franks. You will need toothpicks for this recipe. The flavor improves upon reheating.
