Preparation:

1. Place the sausages in a deep skillet or saucepan and pour in the beer. Add liquid smoke, red pepper flakes, black peppercorns, garlic, onion, three types of bell pepper, and season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for another 15 minutes. Move the sausages if they shift during cooking and aren't completely covered with beer.
2. Brush the grill with vegetable oil and preheat to medium-high heat. Remove the sausages from the pan or pot and place them on the grill. Grill for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the sausages are browned on both sides with dark grill marks. Remove the sausages from the grill, cover them with aluminum foil, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 65°C.
4. Meanwhile, add the sugar and vinegar to the pan with the cooked peppers and onions. Stir until the sugar dissolves in the beer. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
5. Warm it up hot dog buns in the oven for 5-10 minutes, depending on the bread you choose.
6. Cut each sausage into slices approximately 1.25 cm wide and place them inside warmed bread. Use kitchen tongs to add the beer-marinated peppers and onions to the sausages, leaving the liquid on the sausages. Top each sausage with an equal amount of peppers and onions. Add 2 tablespoons of Sunny's curry ketchup.

7. Sunny's Curry Ketchup

   
   In a deep saucepan, combine the tomatoes, garlic, onion, cinnamon stick, ginger, star anise, sugar, curry powder, allspice, black peppercorns, a pinch of salt, corn syrup, and vinegar and cook over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Use a potato masher or a wooden spatula to mash the tomatoes as they cook.
8. Cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and simmer for another 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced slightly and thickened. Remove the cinnamon stick, star anise, and ginger. Using an immersion blender or a stand blender, blend the mixture until smooth. Pour the ketchup into an airtight container and refrigerate overnight or until the ketchup has cooled. Taste the finished ketchup. If desired, add another 0.5 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to reduce the sweetness. You should end up with 4-5 cups of finished ketchup.
