Directions

STOVETOP METHOD:

To make the cranberry bourbon BBQ sauce, put all the sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Make sure to combine everything, and don’t let it burn. Turn down the heat and cook for about 10 minutes, until thickened.
Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil and heat until hot. Brown the meatballs on all sides. Add the bourbon cranberry sauce to the skillet, and stir to cover the meatballs. Add a bit of water if the sauce seems too thick.
Cook, covered, for about 10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through, they should read about 160F on an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center. Baste the meatballs often during cooking.
Serve meatballs hot, in the sauce. Pour a shot or two of the bourbon over a big cube, and chill.

CROCK POT METHOD:

Add all ingredients into a crock pot on high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until meatballs reach 160F on an instant-read thermometer. Lower the heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
