Recipe Wednesday - Sweet and Sour Meatballs

In case you have to take something to your family's Christmas gathering and you don't yet know what you're taking this is a quick and easy recipe.  It will probably require a trip to the grocery store, but is so easy and makes so much you'll be glad you made it!

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

2 18 oz jars Apricot Preserves

1 12 oz bottle Chili Sauce

3 T White Vinegar

2 T Chili-Garlic Sauce

1 c Water

1 32 oz pkg Frozen Meatballs

1. Whisk together first five ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.  Bring to a boil.

2. Add meatballs and return to a boil.

3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.

4. Keep warm in a slow cooker on LOW if desired.

* This recipe is from Southern Living and is an adaptation of their Sweet and Sour Sausage Bites recipe.  You can make this with 2 16 oz packages of cocktail sized smoked sausages by omitting the water in the recipe.  Also, the chili-garlic sauce can be found in the ethnic food aisle.  It was listed as "Chili Sauce with Garlic" on the bottle that I got.
