A friend was going through a recipe file that her mother had given her. Specifically, her mother typed them into a computer, printed them out on individual cards, then put them in a file and gave them to her daughter.
Which is nice except for some of the recipes, which look completely inedible. Some of the worst:
Sweet 'N' Sour Hot Dogs
1 lb. cocktail hot dogs
2/3 c chili sauce
2/3 c currant jelly
Combine chili sauce and jelly. Pour over hot dogs. Heat stirring occasionallly till jelly is melted. Simmer about 10 min till sauce has thickened; baste occasionally.
Hot Dogs Sweet and Sour II
3/4 c. ketchup
1 c. grape jelly
1 lb hot dogs
Slice hot dogs in pieces and add to sauce. Heat thru.
Mmm. That's sum good eats right there.
I don't think I've got the courage to try it.

Posted by: Rachel Ann at June 16, 2005 06:13 AMI've had similar recipes at parties, usually hot barbecue sauce and grape jelly. It actually tastes very good, sort of ying and yang, sweet and tangy hot.
Posted by: Richard at June 16, 2005 01:00 PMHmm. Maybe I'll give it a go, at least for chili sauce and currant jelly.
Grape jelly and ketchup still sound gross.
