MAde my famous Lake-House BBQ smoked beans for our annual office party and they were a big hit. Red, Hot and Blue catered the meat, which was very dry. I almost couldn't choke down the pulled chicken...There is no doubt I can and have made better Que.....
Decided to bring some meatballs in a sauce to the party.. Picked up a bag (92 count) Mama Luci's Italian cocktail balls. Thawd in a skillet w/ some EVOO and butter, covered. While adding 16 ounces of KRAFT BBQ sauce to a crockpot, then add 14 ounces of GRAPE Jam and one heaping tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Heat and stir to mix, then add thawed meatballs. Make this a day ahead and store in fridge, then re-heat on high to bring up temp fast.
This makes an excellent appetizer for a party...Everyone liked them and asked for the recipe. ..
I could have added some minced onion and garlic.
I wouldn't use any other BBQ sauce, it may be too sweet depending on the brand.....
Merry Christmas!!!
NOTE: (using jelly may make this too watery, also any flavor of Jam could be used!!!)
