Happy Halloween!
It's time to start celebrating Halloween on here. I've been wearing my Halloween jewelry for weeks, and as we all know there are plenty of scary recipes in my cookbook library here. This is from The Complete Holiday Cookbook, likely from the 60's. There are three Halloween menus. Here's Trick or Treat Supper:
Crown Roast of Franks (pictured) (seriously)
Boston Baked Beans
Potato Chips
Witch's Brew
Gingerbread
(Clearly, this was done by committee, or else it's some one's version of a Trick.)
Crown Roast of Franks
4 cups saltine cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 can sauerkraut, drained
1 1/2 cups diced apples
2 tsp. caraway seed
1 1/2 pounds frankfurters (Yep, pounds)
Mix together cracker crumbs, butter, sauerkraut, apples and caraway seed. Shape into mound on baking pan. Stand frankfurters around stuffing, joining with cocktail picks near top. Bake in 375-degree oven for 40 minutes. Yield: 6-8 servings.
Now, unless my math is wrong - from this picture that's 3-4 frankfurters per person. That's no Treat.

Even my husband, who finds spaghetti-o's rather tasty, thinks this recipe is indeed pretty scary.
Eeek Amy,
this is that scary hotdog crown of yours is the very first thing to pop up on my new computer's very first internet spin. I hope you didn't break it! :)
