SWEET & SPICY COCKTAIL MEATBALLS

Sweet & Spicy Cocktail Meatballs image

I am so sick of the standard sweet & sour meatballs with the cranberry sauce. So I started to play around in the kitchen & I think I came up with a winner. You surely could cheat & buy a store bought barbecue & add the rest of the ingredients, but it really is so easy that I wouldn't bother.
