I wanted to make meatballs for a party I was attending but didn't have the ingredients for Joe's Balls, so I came up with this recipe. It is a contender for the best meatball appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 1 18oz jar Strawberry Jam
  • 1/4 cup Lite Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Lo Mein Sauce (or Oyster Sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons Chili Garlic Sauce (or more to taste)
  • 3lb Frozen Meatballs

Directions

Step 1
Combine all ingredients except meatballs in a saucepan.
Step 2
Heat all ingredients to dissolve the jelly. Add the meatballs and simmer or slow cook for at least one hour before serving.


I served this last weekend at a graduation party. When I told everyone what was in it, they looked at me like I was crazy. But, they kept eating them, and eating them, and eating them.  They are definitely addicting.

I’m a bit of a wimp, so the heat level of these meatballs is very tame.  Perfect for a mixed crowd.  But hey, if you want them spicier, just add more chili garlic sauce. They can get as spicy as you like.

Here is Joe’s meatballs.
