Another sauce to try I have made for a while now that everyone likes is 1 can of cranberry sauce and a small bottle of ketchup. Combine the two in a crockpot then add little smokies or meatballs which ever you like to simmer for couple hrs.

I have used this recipe for four years, and I love it. I do substitute some OJ and use regular cranberry sauce. I also like to make the sauce and pour over cocktail weiners and let it simmer in the crockpot. Everyone loves them!!! My favorite Betty Crocker recipe.

These meatballs have been a great hit at all the functions I have brought them to, everyone keeps asking me to bring them. TYhe only change I have made is to use at lease 4oz of cranberry jelly and at lease 3/4 cup of orange juice. I also use turkey meatballs.
