Notes

I use frozen meatballs for this recipe. You can use fresh or homemade. Just reduce the cooking time.
You can also make these on the stove by combining the ingredients in a large pot. Cook over medium heat until the jelly mixture is liquid. Add meatballs and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until meatballs are heated through.
To reduce the spice level, reduce or eliminate the cayenne pepper from the recipe.
These meatballs can be made ahead, stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and then reheated in the crockpot or on the stove.
