Ingredients

14 oz. can Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce

1 12 oz. bottle Heinz Chili Sauce

1 cup maple syrup, divided

2 packages (12 to 14 ounces) cocktail wieners or smoked cocktail wieners

1 pound sliced bacon, cut in half lengthwise and in thirds for six pieces

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together Chili Sauce, Cranberry Sauce and 1/2 cup of syrup until smooth. Simmer for five to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and set aside.

Meanwhile, wrap each wiener with a piece of bacon and place seam side down on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wieners. CLEVER TIP: If desired, secure bacon with toothpicks before baking. Drizzle wieners with remaining 1/2 cup of syrup. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until bacon is crispy.

Place a small bowl in the middle of a serving platter and fill with warm cranberry sauce mixture. Surround with cooked wieners. Dip and enjoy!
