ORANGE-BOURBON COCKTAIL FRANKS
Ingredients
2 lb. Cocktail wieners
1/2 c. Green bell pepper, diced
1 medium Shallot, chopped
2 tbsp. Olive oil
1/2 c. Orange juice (any type)
2 tbsp. Orange marmalade
1/2 c. Dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. Kentucky bourbon
1 tsp. Frank’s® Hot Sauce
a pinch Pepperoncino
1 tsp. Lemon juice (bottled is fine)
Directions
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Sautée the peppers and shallots in the oil until softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add the orange and lemon juices, marmalade, brown sugar, bourbon and Frank’s®, pepperoncino, and stir to combine.
• Increase the heat a bit, and bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, place the cocktail wieners in the bottom of a slow cooker (at least 4 quart size).
• Simmer the sauce until reduced by about 1/3, 8-10 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the cocktail wieners, stir to coat evenly, and set the slow cooker to high.
• Heat until steaming, then switch to “keep warm” (or the lowest setting possible), and serve with toothpicks.
A spicy twist on the cocktail party favorite (especially around the holidays), that is a delightful upgrade from the usual hors d’ouevres.
