grape jelly meatballs

[Deleted]

I have never made these before, but I want to bring them to my inlaws on Christmas.

Is there a top secret ingredient or special recipe you use? Links? cjoy

TIA

Chili sauce and grape jelly for sauce, equalish parts...

But I have to insist on homemade meatballs

[Deleted]

I use Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and then a regular spicier BBQ sauce-equal parts, a tablespoon grape jelly per jar of BBQ sauce. No need to overdo the grape jelly. Its too much.

I am going to make my own balls... would a little onion and maybe some green pepper be too much?

This is the recipe I use and they are inhaled every time.

Id leave out the green pepper but keep a little super finely chopped onion in the meatballs.

Someone needs to make these FOR ME, so I can try them.

My recipe:
Homemade meatballs with super finely chopped onion
Apricot Preserves
Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce
Chili Powder

Usually 1-2 cups preserves, 3/4 bottle sauce, 1-3T Chili Powder. I don't really measure anything, just toss it together and taste.

I do roughly 2 parts Chili Sauce, 1 1/2 parts Grape Jelly (I have used cranberry jelly too which is okay), Worcestershire (I don't measure but maybe 2 tablespoons), garlic powder, and chopped onions (fresh if I have some just dried if I don't).

I've heard you can sub a can of cranberry sauce for the jelly to make them "seasonal."
