One time I accidently bought cocktail sauce instead of chili sauce (the jars look exactly the same!) I used it anyway, and they still tasted fine.

Since the constant in all these recipes seems to be the grape jelly, I guess we can assume that the grape jelly is the overpowering flavor in these sauces!!


What else could we mix with grape jelly? Dish soap? Motor Oil? Just wonderin'..

Ok, I used a big jar of grape jelly and an 8 oz jar of sweet chili sauce (from an asian market) and WOW they have a kick!

I use ketchup instead of chili sauce, my girlfriend uses chili sauce, they taste pretty much the same. I use equal parts, I empty the jelly jar then squeeze the ketchup into that, she uses 2 jars of chili sauce to 1 jar of jelly.

I use ketchup too. DH just raves about it. And you can buy the "off" brand of ketchup, which is a little cheaper, because you can't tell the difference.

Hi! Just wondering... Can you use cranberry sauce instead of the grape jelly?

Absolutely! I use cranberry sauce, ketchup, A-1, and beer.

I know I'm too late for this time but I do it with 1 large jar of grape jelly and 2 bottles of Heinz 57 sauce. KILLER success. Just be very careful of the H57. It stains like you would NOT believe.

I use frozen. I think the brand is Armour....funny I am very visual; if they ever change the package, I'm screwed. I get the "original" kind which is caramel coated as opposed to the "Italian" kind.

No, interestingly you do not taste a strong grape flavor. These things are so good its ridiculous. And the longer they sit, the better. I heat my jelly and H57 together, pour over the meatballs and let them go all day. And yes, they are good for days and days. I use the frozen bag of meatballs from Sam's and the family always begs me to do two bags worth so we have plenty of leftovers.

I use:
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 can tomato soup
1/4 cup Chambord ( plus a tad for the cook)
1 T Dijon mustard

Enjoy

Sounds EXACTLY like my house! My family and friends go crazy over these things and I have to make enough for everyone to take some home. Sam's clubs big bags are a life saver for me.
