Budget Hotdog Appetizer

Another recipe from college days.......... to save money, instead of buying the little cocktail hotdogs, we bought hot dogs on sale and cut them on angles... mix all together and put in the crockpot ........till heated through. 

Serves 8

1 lb. hotdogs
1 jar sliced French mustard
1 jar current jelly

Cinnamon Popcorn

Another recipe from my college days, so many years ago...  back then, we all knew how to pop popcorn. I am adding those directions here since I recently gave this recipe to someone who said she's never made anything but microwave popcorn. Yes, you can use the microwave popcorn but I prefer Black Jewel  or sone of the other "gourmet" popcorn kernels.

Cover bottom of heavy saucepan with a thin layer of vegetable oil (or lard). Add layer of popcorn. Cover pan with a lid and pop corn, shaking pan.

After the kernels are popped, pour popcorn into a large bowl. 

Pour 1/4 cup of melted butter over popcorn.

Mix together and add to the popped corn.......

2 TBSP sugar
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

Sprinkle sugar mixture over popcorn and toss carefully.

If desired, add raisins, dates, dried fruit, peanuts or mixed nuts.

Carefully spri
