Ingredients

  • 1 14-oz. can jellied cranberry sauce
  • 1 10.5-oz. jar hot jalapeño pepper jelly
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 1-lb. pkg. frozen beef meatballs (I use Amylu brand cranberry & Jalapeno chicken meatballs from Costco)
  • 1 small jalapeño chile seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  • Whisk together cranberry sauce, pepper jelly, lemon juice, and garlic salt in a Dutch oven or large pot, or crock pot.
  • whisking until mixture melts and is well blended, about 4 minutes.
  • Add meatballs, stirring to coat in sauce.
  • Cover and continuing cooking over medium until meatballs are thawed and sauce is beginning to bubble, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until meatballs are heated through and sauce is thickened giving the meatballs a glazed coating, about 6 minutes. Spoon meatballs on a platter; spoon additional sauce from pot over meatballs, and sprinkle evenly with jalapeño and parsley. Serve hot.
