AMY's MEATBALL RECIPE
(special thanks to Tana for the recipe)

ingredients:
2 jars heinz chili sauce
1 large jar concord grape jelly
24 frozen meatballs (in this case, trader joe's turkey meatballs)

place all ingredients in a pot.
you might try a crockpot, if you've got one, since you're going to cook them for awhile and you might want to keep them warm.
mix thouroughly.
heat over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
make sure sauce is well mixed, it should be a very deep red-brown.
keep meatballs warm up to the time of serving.
serve with white bread for sopping up the extra sauce (or maybe making a small sandwich).
