Instructions
First, make the cranberry BBQ sauce.
Add all cranberry sauce ingredients to a large saucepan on the stove and stir together.
Set the burner to medium heat
and cover it with a lid because cranberries burst as they cook. In about 10 minutes, it will reach a light boil.
Turn heat down to medium-low
and simmer cranberry sauce for 10-15 minutes and stir regularly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Add frozen meatballs
and raise heat to medium. Stir to combine and cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 - 25 minutes.
Remove
the cranberry meatballs from the heat when they are done cooking, according to the package.
Cool
and serve with fresh chopped herbs if desired.
