Go Patriots Meatballs

HeatherFeather's Note:

Quick & easy recipe for when you have no time to fuss yet need an easy and tasty appetizer. Adapted from Southern Living originally. At first, I thought the sauce ingredients sounded quite peculiar, but after my tasters inhaled 10 of these meatballs in seconds flat, I was no longer concerned ;) The sauce will turn a dark brown, and have be a sweet, tangy flavor with a horseradishy overtone.

These were excellent. I added about 1/2 of a 10.5oz jar of Apple Jelly also to bring up the sweet side of the sweet/spicy combo. (I'm a wuss) Couldn't ask for anything easier for a pot luck or party recipe. Thanks for posting.
