This post is making me hungry. My stepdad always puts grape jelly in his meatballs and the first time I heard him talk about the recipe I thought he was crazy! It's so good, though!

The first time I tried meatballs like this, I was so surprised one of the ingredients was grape jelly! I love that you added cayenne. I bet it nicely balances the sweet and savory.

I make his very same recipe for Super Bowl! It is amazing what the grape jelly does. You wouldnt think it would be in there but it works perfectly.
