  1. I had my doubts about those pineapple chunks, but after they'd cooked a while and absorbed the chipotle flavor - wowser! I used two pounds of meatballs, but kept the rest of the ingredients as listed, 2 chipotle chiles, and then added 1/2 cup chicken broth. This was very well received at a bridal shower. Just enough heat to make it interesting but still appealing to a broad audience. Update: I've made this many times, and no longer add any brown sugar. The pineapple and cranberry add enough sweetness.
     
  2. I brought this to a party and everyone was intrigued by the subtle heat of the chipotles. Definitely a winner!
     
  3. These meatballs are great! Everyone at my office loved them. I made a huge batch of them. The meatballs get even better the second day. If you use a 6lb bag of meatballs from Costco, you can alter the recipe. You will need 5 cans of cranberry jelly, 4 (20 oz.) cans of pineapple chunks, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar and 6 chipotle chilis.
     
  4. Wooo baby! These meatballs are INCREDIBLE! I doubled the recipe after seeing exactly how much a pound of meatballs were and thinking about how much the bunco girls can polish off when they find an appy they like. I just sampled one... Yum-O! I followed the recipe exactly but I did add a couple extra chipotles... 'cause I like 'em! I sincerely hope there will be a few leftovers for tomorrow. If not, I foresee making an early morning run to the grocery for the ingredients. I'm also thinking this would be a good recipe to use with a roast... Hmmm.... Thanks for a great recipe! Definitely a keeper!!!
     
  5. This was great...I don't care for store bought meatballs but this really upped the taste and was excellent! Served it over hot rice instead of using them as appetizers, lol! And might even add green peppers next time and there will be a next time!!!
