Author Notes: So, please-stay with me here. I know the ingredients are a bit unorthodox, but if you try these, I promise, you will not beleive they were so easy. At every holiday party, I try new recipes, and inventive foods to taste. Also, ever year mom will make these-and they will be the hit. I don't know why-or how, but they are the facts. - slulibby - slulibby
Food52 Review: A little sweet, a little tangy, a touch of spice and a lot of flavor—the unorthodox sauce is the perfect match for the tender meatballs. Actually it would be great for any meat; diners at my table have enjoyed the sauce with her meatballs, with lamb sliders, with roasted chicken—and there was even talk about how fantastic it would be with ribs. This is a delicious secret worth sharing! - gingerroot - A&M

Can I just say that this web site is the greatest? I love that -not only can people share new recipes and ideas, but they aren't gourmand snobs! That is what makes this so much fun!

This recipe is almost too nutty not to try! Can you explain what kind of chili sauce you use? Is it more of a sriracha-type sauce, or a Mexican salsa brava type?

I know, this sounds ridicules-but my personal preference is old school Heinz Chili Sauce. However, I mean any tomato-based sauce with some chile-like ingredient — either chiles or chili powder, onion, vinegar, and spices.

It makes me feel so much better to know others struggle sometimes too with all this! Cooking I can do, computer/typing is a constant struggle ;)

Do you find that poeple always like the recipe?

I have been waiting for a version of this - with the grape jelly - these are delicious and timeless!

Ah, you know this recipe too! Its insane, the recipe reads like it would be a bit off-putting, but people are always asking for the recipe. Its "almost" a little embarrassing to have to hand over a recipe with chili sauce and jelly, but its really good, so I won't be a food snob about it! :)

I used to work at a restaurant that served a black cherry jelly/mustard sauce with fried shrimp and it was wonderful. I bet this is good too!

This sounds like its the same principle, and yes, its strange, but good.
