on Nov 18, 2024 9 Comments Remember those grape jelly meatballs from the 70’s and 80’s? Those were one of my favorite recipes my Mama would make for parties as I was growing up. (Am I dating myself? Most likely, but you know what, they sure were delicious!) These cranberry meatballs are a seasonal update to that age-old classic recipe. They are perfect for fall and winter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and definitely on brisk game days for a tailgate. I think you will love them, too! There are two ways to make my cranberry meatballs that I turn to repeatedly. I thought I’d share both ways with you so that you can decide which works best for you. Homemade Cranberry Meatballs – My homemade cranberry meatballs that are made with homemade meatballs that slowly cook in my homemade sweet and spicy cranberry sauce. Easy Crockpot Cranberry Meatballs – My super quick and simple easy cranberry meatballs where three ingredients are dumped into the slow cooker, the timer is set, and all you have to do is serve them and enjoy! Both versions are so delicious and perfect for busy weeknights, when entertaining, and throughout the holidays! I think you’ll love them!
