How do I make Pressure Cooker Cocktail Sausage Weenies?

Whisk up the Cocktail Weenies Sauce

Place all the ingredients into a Measuring Cup.

Take a Whisk and whisk up the Sauce, so that the Sugar blends in to the wet ingredients.

If serving at a Thanksgiving gathering, you might want to add a bit of Ground Sage!

Slice Hot Dogs into Four Pieces

For the most even cut, use a good and sharp Chef’s Knife.

If using full sized Hot Dogs, slice them into quarters.

For the Foot Long Hot Dog, slice them into six pieces.

The packaged “Cocktail Weiners” or “Lit’l Smokies,” no need to slice.

Place Hot Dogs in Pressure Cooker

The Hot Dogs or Cocktail Size Weenies go right into the cooking pot.

You can double, triple, etc. this recipe.

For a large crowd, fill up the Pressure Cooker or Instant Pot to the fill line, if desired.

Pour in the Cocktail Weenie Sauce

Pour all the Sauce into the cooking pot.

For an adult version mix together Apricot Preserves and a nice Brandy.

OMG, that is so good. The longer is sits, the better it tastes.

Mix all the Sauce with the Hot Dogs

Only a small amount of Water is added, just to allow the Sauce to come to Pressure.

Steaming Cocktail Wieners

Keep the Pressure Cooker on Warm.

The Sauce needs to thicken up and caramelize.
