I was supposed to bring an appetizer to Christmas dinner and I totally forgot. 3 hours before I am supposed to be there, the stores are all closed and I am scrambling to figure out what to do. I found this recipe and it saved me. At first I didn't have grape jelly so I used strawberry instead. They turned out ok. I didn't have leftovers but the meat balls were tough and they seemed bland to me. I knew they could be better. I tried it again for the next party on Friday night only this time I used Grape Jelly, a combination of Oriental red chile oil and Marca El Pato sauce and I made the meat balls with some cracker crumbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Wow! What a difference! The slight modifications really went over well. It gave them a real punch of flavor that was missing the night before. Thanks for a simple and very good recipe.

Quick and easy. Good for potlucks at work and such. I used the frozen meatballs to save time and effort.

Odd combination but great flavors! These always seem to be such a hit. Could use the slow cooker too. Thanks for sharing.

Served these at our annual Jimmy Buffett (Parrothead) party, and what a hit. Very easy to make. Will do again next year! Fins UP!

I served these meatballs at my son’s graduation party (330 guests). I scaled the recipe and mixed cocktail smoky sausage with the meatballs in the same roaster. They were gone long before anything else. Very easy, I plan to make them again for all major parties.

I can't go to a family holiday without people begging me to make this recipe! They call it my "special meat"

Another old family favorite! Definitely try these meatballs! I personally use the pre-made meatballs (frozen) to save time. Everyone always loves them!!

This was an interesting recipe for sure! I agree, don't let the ingredients turn you away from this. It was sweet and flavorful altogether. You might want to cook the meatballs less though, since they dry out in the oven before you let them simmer in the sauce. Serve hot for sure!
