Crockpot Grape Jelly & BBQ Meatballs

My mom used to make these for family gatherings.

First time adding jelly to Meatballs. I used blueberry jelly. Was a hit at the party I took them to.

Used raspberry jam INSTRUCTIONS In a medium bowl mix together the bbq sauce and grape jelly. In a 4 quart or larger crockpot add the meatballs. Pour the bbq & jelly mixture over the meatballs and stir. Cover and cook on high for 2 -3 hours stirring halfway through. Serve warm and enjoy

Simple recipe, but it makes a good portion, which means you can feed an army or have leftovers and experiment with sides and such. (Also, used too sweet a BBQ sauce, so I added some spices and heated it up a bit too much for the consensus. So I used maple syrup to resweeten it and the final result was very well received. Also fun to experiment with different BBQ sauces. Next experiment is with blueberry preserves and a BBQ sauce. Then a locally made BBQ sauce that is my favorite by miles. *Edit - I used the blueberry preserves and Stubb's Spicy BBQ and it was darned near perfect for me. (Obviously, if you don't like some heat, use a less spicy sauce. I added a little maple syrup again, but thought about brown sugar and just didn't pull that trigger.)

This is always a favorite in our house, sweet and tasty. Who would have thought Jelly and BBQ sauce would be so great together!

2lbs makes a lot when its frozen meatballs. Plenty of leftovers. Used a spicy bbq sauce to even out the sweetness of the jelly.
