Pepper Jelly Cocktail Meatballs

Glazed in a sauce made with pepper jelly and chipotles in adobo, these sweet and spicy cocktail meatballs will be the star of your next party.

Inspired by grape jelly cocktail meatballs, these sweet and spicy bite-size meatballs are glazed in a sticky sauce made with pepper jelly and chipotles in adobo sauce. While the meatballs can be made purely with ground pork, the combination of pork and beef provides the ideal balance of richness and savoriness to pair with the sugary glaze. A cookie scoop makes it quick and easy to shape the meatballs.
