Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Cocktail frankfurters
- 1 cup Orange marmalade
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the orange marmalade, ketchup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, and orange juice until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the cocktail frankfurters to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly in the orange glaze.
Reduce the heat to low and let the franks simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they are well coated and heated through.
Taste the glaze and adjust seasoning if necessary (add a pinch of salt or more brown sugar for balance).
Transfer the cocktail franks to a serving dish, spooning extra glaze over the top for presentation.
Serve warm with toothpicks or small skewers for easy grabbing.
