Method
In a large saucepan, stir together the ingredients. Heat to a boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally. Remove wieners to a serving platter and pour the sauce into a small serving bowl. Serve with fancy toothpicks. Recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
Cook’s notes
Special chef tips: No seedless raspberry jam? Sub with grape or apple jelly instead. This recipe can be easily adapted to the slow cooker. Set on high for about two hours or low for approximately four hours, covered until cooked through. In addition to cooking the meat, the slow cooker can keep your food warm for self-service, and you won't have to bother with any serving platters.

Cook’s notes
Special chef tips: No seedless raspberry jam? Sub with grape or apple jelly instead. No honey barbecue sauce? Substitute with any containing brown sugar - or use regular barbecue sauce and add 2 T. of brown sugar to sweeten the recipe. No apple cider? Simply use apple juice instead. Too much quantity? The recipe can be easily cut in half.
