Ingredients for Classic Muscadine Cocktail Meatballs
- 2 12 ounce bottles chili sauce I am using Heinz
- 32 ounces muscadine jelly I am using Dutch Kettle brand Scuppernong
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 pounds meatballs frozen cocktail
Instructions
The Method
- Combine the jelly, the chili sauce, and the cayenne in a medium non-stick saucepan and heat until warm. I also whisk this very well for several minutes.
- Set up a large slow cooker and set to 'low.' Place cocktail meatballs into the cooker and pour the sauce over the meatballs. Give the entire pot a good stir with a rubber spatula and replace the lid. Cook on low for 4 hours.
- For tailgating, serve right from the crock pot with toothpicks to handle. You may want something nicer for a holiday party. I use a party chaffing dish.
Notes
Four pounds of mini meatballs may sound like a lot, but if you figure around eight to ten meatballs per person, you are right up there with a houseful of say 15 to 20 partygoers.
