My family have made these for as long as I can remember in my 38 years, my immediate family loves them so much, my 2 years had gotten into them and ate a dozen himself in all the hustle and bustle of the holidays.....boy did we pay for it later.....loll

I served these tonight as "Asian Meatballs" with sides of plain Jasmine Rice and Stir Fried Green Beans with Garlic. I used San Antonio Medium-Spicy Salsa & a store brand Grape Jelly, along with two tablespoons of Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard for the sauce. It was a very nice Chinese meal! Wink wink !

I made this recipe for a birthday party. I used a bag of 96 cocktail sized frozen meatballs and a crockpot. Everyone raved about the meatballs and they didn't last very long. I really liked that there was plenty of sauce with this recipe.

I have made these for years. I love using Trader Joes Turkey meatballs and substitute 1 can of cranberry sauce instead of grape jelly. It's yummy!!

Years ago at a teacher appreciation luncheon us PTA moms all brought in a dish. One mom brought these amazing meatballs but I never got the recipe from her. This could be it...Making it for the first time today, can't wait to try it!

Here is another recipe for a party food, similar idea as the meatballs. Mix equal amounts mustard (your choice hot, honey, whatever) and current jelly in crockpot. Add cocktail franks, cut-up hotdogs or keilbasa etc. Heat on low for a few hrs til heated. This is a basic recipe and can be altered to your taste easily.

This has been a family recipe for years for the holidays. I use equal chili sauce to jelly ratio, with homemade balls. Homemade balls are better, first off, smaller balls absorb the sauce so much better than bigger store bought. I use a crock pot or on the stove, 6 hours at low heat works the best. A little oregano and a dab of mustard in the meatballs, as well as onion powder throw it over the edge.

Jerk sauce and grape jelly and pineapple chunks turn it into a great Caribbean dish and a dash of chilli flakes gives it some spice too!
