These meatballs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would have liked them better if the glaze had been less sweet.

I'm not a fan of cranberries, but I still liked these meatballs. The maple glaze was really good and the chicken was tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making these again, but I'll probably use a different type of fruit for the glaze.

These meatballs were a little bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe by adding some more milk or broth to the meatball mixture.
