Grape jelly and honey BBQ sauce are the classic combo that make these cocktail meatballs disappear from the table so quickly. Pineapple and red pepper add a tiki-bar twist.

Instead of grape jelly I used A1 and I used regular BBQ sauce instead of honey. My husband loved it! Quick, easy, will definitely make again. Next time I will try with turkey meatballs.

This was better without the red pepper.

My family loved these! We made the frozen meatballs/sauce as directed but I used the larger meatballs (all our store had) and long skewers and we doubled what we put on them...this made it a great main course for dinner! Each of the kids (ages 5-15) put their own skewer together and they were asking to have them again even before we'd finished eating!

this was great ........ everyone loved this~ I made my sauce ahead and let the meatballs simmer for and hour before putting them on the skewers the flavor was wonderful.
