Show FRANKFURTER FUN By Miirie Gijjord 1 r Frankfurters are stars this season of the year, for they're real fun food. Call on the versatile "frank" to play its part in your easy menus for late summer days, feature them for the Labor Day picnic and keep them on hand for those juick snacks. No longer are frankfurters vostrct-od to the camp and picnic grounds. Due to their goodness and case of preparation, they have won their way into the menus for indoors and out and even company dinners. To heat the franks and keep the mouth watering goodness and juice-ness juice-ness where it belongs inside the frankfurter drop them in boiling water and remove pan from heat. Cover them with a lid and let set for 7 to 8 minutes. .For the Labor Day picnic roast the frankfurters at the "spot" and team with buns, trimmings for the franks, corn-on-the-cob, tomato halves and a chopping bowl salad. For those garden fresh ears of corn, place fully dressed ears in water for 10 minutes then roast them on the grill along with the frankfurters. The steam created in the husks will keep each kernal of corn plump and moist. For indoor cooking on the broiler wrap the husked ear in aluminum foil. Turn the ears frequently. This method may also be adapted to outdoor cooking. Plan a kitchen party and serve frankfurters in toast shawls' Remove crust and spread 12 slices of bread with mixture of 4 tablespoons table-spoons mustard and 2 tablespoons horseradish. Place frankfurters cornerwise on sliced bread; wrap; fasten with a toothpick. Brush with melted butter and bake on a cooky sheet at 350F. for 15 minutes Top with stuffed olive. Add potato salad, garden onions and radishes for a snack to delight the family and friends. For a wonderful family platter, cut three tomatoes in half, dot with butter, season and broil 5 minutes in pan set 5-6 inches below heating unit. Slit ten frankfurters lengthwise and fill with mixture of 1 cup mashed potatoes and cup grated American- Cheese. Place in broiler pan and broil until heated through. |
