PARTY FRANKS
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
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.

A good friend, we used to have a lot of parties and would have lots of hors d'oeuvres. This one was a favorite of everyone. We always doubled the recipe and all would be eaten. Easy to make and you can freeze leftovers if you are lucky enough to have any. I us more bourbon than the recipe list for.

FRANKS IN PEANUT BUTTER AND CHUTNEY
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.
