The tangy apricot sauce is great for glazing duck or pork roast, too:
(serves 8-10)

1 cup apricot preserves
1/2 8 oz. can (1/2 cup) seasoned tomato sauce
1/3 cup red wine* vinegar
1/4 cup cooking sherry
2 T. Ponzu Citrus Sauce* (or low sodium soy sauce)
2 T. honey
1 T. canola oil or veg. oil
1 t. Kosher salt
1 t. grated fresh ginger root
2 lbs. frankfurters (get ones with no nitrates or 'trites*)
1 No. 2 can pineapple slices, drained

For the sauce: Combine first 9 ingredients. Score the frankfurters on the bias, and grill or broil slowly, turning and basting often with the sauce, till hot through and glazed. Last few minutes, grill or broil pineapple ring. Brush with basting sauce, grill, turn, brush with glaze again. Heat remaining sauce to pass with franks.
