These are excellent meatballs. First let me say, I take a shortcut and buy a bag of quality meatballs from "the club". I made these for a Christmas Eve party appetizer,and they were so great, I can't wait to make them for the next party or potluck. The sauce was so good you just want to slurp it up. I used the ENTIRE can of Jellied Cranberry Sauce. (It was a 14 ounce can). That is how the recipe is written on the cranberry company's website, and it turned out so great, I would never try it any differently. The person who had lumps in their sauce, perhaps did not have the 'jellied' sauce.

these meatballs have been part of my family for years i normally hate cranberries but i love these my family makes the sauce a little differently. we put brown sugar and some type of lee and Parrens sauce in it I'm not sure what kind the name slips me at the moment

Christina, I found bottles of chili sauce in with the condiments (ketchup, steak sauce, etc.) at my local grocery store. I used a whole can of cranberry sauce because the chili was overwhelming. But the cranberry sauce never completely dissolved, so I had small clumps, but it turned out okay. That may just be something I didn't do right. I made everything up the night before, but then didn't put the sauce on the meatballs until I was ready to warm and serve. The flavors combined as it sat overnight, so I think the sauce tasted better when served than when I made it. All in all it turned out good.

These were very easy to make and a big hit at the party at which I served them. Delicious.
