HALLOWEEN MEAL RECIPES

This is a tasty treat for a meal or a party. You can stick toothpicks in each little meatball and let people serve themselves during a party or let the kids have at them before trick-or-treating. Either way, these tasty sweet and sour meatballs will be a big hit!

SWEET & SOUR SPIDER EGGS

Ingredients:
Pre-made or frozen meatballs, about 48
1 Cup Salsa
1/2 Cup Grape Jelly
1/2 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Barbecue Sauce (Hickory Smoked or your choice)
1/4 Cup Cider Vinegar

In a mixing bowl, combine ingredients except meat balls. Mix with a wire whisk until well blended. Pre-heat a large skillet, at least 12 inches, over high heat. Pour in mixture and meatballs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until thickened. Pour into large serving bowl. Insert toothpicks or skewers if needed.

As a garnish, you can make a spider on the top of the bowl of meatballs by using a peeled hard boiled egg and some thinly sliced red or green bell pepper. Sit the egg in the meatballs on it's side. Stick the pepper slices in for legs. Use a black olive for the head, attach with a toothpick. Put drops of cake decorating gel on for eyes, red or green works well. You can also spot the "body" of the spider with decorating gel as well, to give it a more "spidery" look.
