SPICY COCKTAIL MEATBALLS
Steps:
- To make the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients, except the canola oil. Shape heaping teaspoons of the mixture into 1-inch balls. In a Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, wiping pan in between, saute the meatballs, turning frequently for even browning, until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate.
- To make the sauce: Heat oil in the same Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper and cook 1 minute. Stir in the remaining ingredients and reduce heat to low.
- Add the browned meatballs to the Dutch oven and toss gently to coat with sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Place the ground beef and pork in a large bowl. Add the diced jalapeños, breadcrumbs, granulated garlic, egg, onion, 1 tablespoon pepper jelly and some salt and pepper and gently fold this mixture together.
- Using a small scoop, roll a tablespoon of the meat mixture into a ball. Place on the prepared wire rack and repeat until all of the meat has been shaped into balls. Roast the meatballs until slightly browned, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine the bloody mary mix, pomegranate juice, light brown sugar and remaining pepper jelly (about 3/4 cup) in a small saucepot. Boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the jelly has dissolved and the sauce has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and pour into a large mixing bowl to cool. (The glaze will thicken as it cools.)
- Transfer the hot meatballs to the large bowl with the glaze and gently toss until evenly coated. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the pomegranate seeds.

I found these on another site. I accidentally grabbed strawberry jam instead of raspberry when I made it the first time, and it was still great. The flavor of the meat is absolutely fabulous.

Tips:
- Make sure your cocktail sauce has enough horseradish and Worcestershire sauce to give it a nice kick. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon of each per cup of ketchup.
- Don't skip the step of browning the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to give them a nice caramelized flavor.
- If you want to make your meatballs even more flavorful, you can add some chopped onion, garlic, or bell pepper to the meat mixture before cooking.
- Be sure to cook the meatballs on low in the slow cooker so that they have time to absorb all of the delicious flavors from the sauce.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
