Ingredients
Meatballs
  • 2 pounds ground venison or elk
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Sauce
  • 1 jalapeno, minced (optionally seeded)
  • 1 cup apple jelly
  • 1 cup chili garlic sauce
  • 1 14-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
  1. Combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl and use a fork to mix together, taking care not to overwork the meat. Portion with a scoop onto a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. While the meatballs are cooking, combine the ingredients for the sauce in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer, uncovered, until all of the ingredients meld, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Toss cooked meatballs with the sauce and serve warm.
