Ingredients

  • 12 ounce jar chili sauce sweet chili sauce
  • 12 ounces grape jelly
  • Juice of one lemon

Instructions

  • In a large pot, combine the chili sauce, grape jelly and lemon juice.
  • Heat this mixture over medium heat until the jelly melts and everything begins to incorporate.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer for at least 30 minutes, until the meatballs are heated through
  • This recipe is very, very adaptable. If you don’t have chili sauce, use ketchup. Or cocktail sauce. Don’t have a lemon? Use a lime! Want some added kick? Add a splash or two of teriyaki sauce (yum. I promise.). Be adventurous with your flavor of jam, if you want. You can also choose to cook the meatballs in the sauce rather than adding them in after they are cooked – whatever you choose. We always served these over rice, but they make great appetizer meatballs, or can be served however you prefer.
