Ultimate Party Meatballs

[CindyLouWho]

I haven't made these but they seem quick, easy & good for the holiday coming up.  When I make em, I use grape jelly instead of the cranberry sauce.

The original recipe and by far the best is this one..

1 bottle (12 ounces) chili sauce
1 cup grape jelly
add a little fresh lemon juice

For those people who enjoy the above recipes, excuse me...... but grape jelly in the meatballs?  It doesn't sound at all appetizing to me.

I did not think I would like it either Squid. I gave it a try and have to admit it is quite yummy

Yes they are good, my kids all love em

Okay...I'm convinced. I'll try it with the grape jelly, but do I use meatballs or little smokies? I've done the little smokies in Apricot preserves. It's real good that way. But I'm not sure about meatballs.

We usually use the meatballs but they'd both be good.
