Maple Meatballs

Well, maple sauce over meatballs more accurately! Maple sounded different for this week's PIGskin Challenge. Here's a great sauce to use with home made or store bought meatballs. The original recipe calls for putting frozen meatballs in a crock pot, pouring the sauce over top and heating for a few hours.
Just make sure you like the folks you're serving these to... pure maple syrup is not cheap:@)
Here's a chili sauce recipe in case you can use it.
My thoughts: This is a lip smacking great sauce, sweet, spicy and I could really taste the allspice...
The only thing missing was the maple flavor! It was totally overpowered by the chili sauce.
Full disclosure: I forgot to add the chives.

Maple Meatballs
3lbs frozen store bought meatballs
1 1/2 C real maple syrup
2 Tblsp dried chives
1 1/2 C chili sauce
1 Tblsp soy sauce
1/2 Tblsp ground mustard
Whisk everything together, add  meatballs to crock pot, pour sauce over meatballs and cook on high for
4 1/2 hours, low 5 1/2 hours.
Have a happy day!
