Instructions
Place the strips of bacon in a skillet on medium heat. Slowly cook the bacon, turning the strips over occasionally until much of the fat is rendered and the bacon is lightly browned.
Remove the bacon strips to a paper towel lined plate.
Pour off all but a teaspoon of the bacon fat (do this into a jar, do not pour down the drain or you will clog your pipes). Increase the heat to medium high and add the chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
While the onions are cooking, finely chop the cooled bacon strips.
Make pineapple bacon relish: In a large bowl stir to combine the bacon, onion, pineapple, and sweet pickles.
Mix in a tablespoon of sweet pickle juice. You can make ahead at this point, chill until ready to serve with the hot dogs.
Heat the hot dogs your favorite way. The hot dogs are already cooked when you buy them, so all you really need to do is heat them through.
Over a grill, grill for about 5 minutes on a medium flame, until lightly browned, and toast the buns for a minute if you wish.
Or, put the dogs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
Or, pierce the hot dogs all over with a fork and put on a plate in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds per hot dog.
Place a hot dog in a bun and top with a couple spoonfuls of relish.
Recommended wine: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Rose Wine
Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Hot Dogs. A Gewürztraminer will be great with your basic New York style hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut. For a Chicago-style dog with sour pickles and hot peppers, you might opt for a crisp Riesling. No matter your toppings, a dry rosé almost always works. You could try Fess Parker Santa Barbara Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 9 dollars per bottle.
