at 9:48 pmI have not even heard of that type of jelly, that’s to bad they stopped making it! If you try it with grape let me know, I hope you enjoy it!

at 12:27 pmI’ve made these for years. People love them! But I use chili sauce and currant jelly. Not so sweet. Problem is… Can’t find currant jelly easily. Smuckers quit making it. ☹️
Jennie says
at 4:54 pmI have made this with honey bbq sauce before and enjoy the taste. I think it would taste good but I also have a sweet tooth and the sweetness wouldn’t bother me =)
T Borden says
at 3:39 amDoes the bbq sauce have to be regular flavor or can it be a sweet flavor bbq sauce. Will the grape jelly with sweet bbq sauce make it taste too sweet?
Jennie says
at 3:48 pmSo happy to hear that!

Jennie says
at 8:51 pmHi Jolene! I don’t find the recipe taste like grapes or is to sweet. But I guess that depends on your sweet tooth =)
I have yet to try it with chicken but I think that would work perfectly!
Jolene lehman says
at 6:15 pmHi there have a couple questions does the jelly make it taste like grape or really sweet and also would frozen chicken ball work or would it have a weird flavor with the grape jelly

at 4:24 pmThis is a fantastic quick recipe, thank you for the brilliant write up.
Jennie says
at 10:48 pmYou can definitely make your own meatballs brown and then use those. I know people who love the store bought ones and others who would rather make them. Let me know how you like them that way, I would love to hear how it turned out!
Carol says
at 10:43 pmDo you have to use commercial frozen meatballs? Why can’t you make your own, brown , then put in sauce and simmer until done ? I prefer not to use premade/prepackaged food.
Jennie says
at 10:50 amHi Karissa, I have used several different types. I love the Aldi brand. Or any meatball with less fat I think it the best option!
Karissa says
at 5:58 pmDo you recommend a certain brand meatballs?
