Can I just say that this web site is the greatest? I love that -not only can people share new recipes and ideas, but they aren't gourmand snobs! That is what makes this so much fun!

This recipe is almost too nutty not to try! Can you explain what kind of chili sauce you use? Is it more of a sriracha-type sauce, or a Mexican salsa brava type?

I know, this sounds ridicules-but my personal preference is old school Heinz Chili Sauce. However, I mean any tomato-based sauce with some chile-like ingredient — either chiles or chili powder, onion, vinegar, and spices.

It makes me feel so much better to know others struggle sometimes too with all this! Cooking I can do, computer/typing is a constant struggle ;)

Thanks, and i liked your stuffed meatball idea. I have seen this attempted in the past, but never with such pretty results!

Thanks- I love it, but I can not take full credit for these--they originated with my mom.

Do you find that poeple always like the recipe?

I have been waiting for a version of this - with the grape jelly - these are delicious and timeless!

Ah, you know this recipe too! Its insane, the recipe reads like it would be a bit off-putting, but people are always asking for the recipe. Its "almost" a little embarrassing to have to hand over a recipe with chili sauce and jelly, but its really good, so I won't be a food snob about it! :)

I used to work at a restaurant that served a black cherry jelly/mustard sauce with fried shrimp and it was wonderful. I bet this is good too!

This sounds like its the same principle, and yes, its strange, but good.
