Here's another really easy appy that has amazing flavor folks, I wouldn't hesitate to make this
Orange Marmalade BBQ Sauce for Meatballs for any gathering! I like cooking the sauce in a skillet so it reduces a little and becomes very thick and sticky. These (store bought) meatballs are great with the simple two ingredient sauce but if your crowd likes a little smoky heat, shaking in some chipotle powder to taste is a beautiful thing:@)
While I'm showing them with fun football pics (
from JoAnn Fabric last year) they'd best be served with little cocktail forks because you
will want to swish them around and scoop up as much sauce as you can:@) I've been buying mini-meatballs and really think they're a perfect size for appys. More great meatball recipes can be found
HERE.
Orange Marmalade BBQ Sauce for Meatballs
Ratio: twice as much BBQ sauce to orange marmalade.
Approx 2 C BBQ sauce, 1 C marmalade for 2 lb meatballs.
Optional: chipotle powder to taste.
- Bring to boil in skillet, reduce to simmer until desired consistency, stirring constantly.
- Add cooked/heated meatballs, coat thoroughly and enjoy!
Those little picks are so cute and I know the marmalade BBQ sauce must taste fantastic. Happy Sunday Lynn.
