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.
