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.

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.

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!!!
