EASY SWEET AND SPICY MEATBALLS
I had these at a graduation party and they were wonderful. I was shocked when they told me the ingredients. I've made them ever since and they always go like hot cakes! Either hand roll meatballs using your favorite meatball recipe or purchase frozen prepared meatballs. If you use frozen, allow for more simmering time.

- 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.
