Instructions for Grape Jelly Meatballs
Defrost your meatballs before cooking. Once thawed, add the meatballs to the instant pot.
In a medium size bowl, mix together the grape jelly and barbecue sauce. Stir together well. Add to the instant pot and stir again, covering the meatballs in the sauce.
Place the lid onto the instant pot. Set the valve to sealed position. Press pressure cook or manual button and set timer to 7 minutes. Once the instant pot stops counting and beeps release the pressure.
After the pressure is released, remove the meatballs from the instant pot and place on a serving platter.
Serve with bamboo cocktail forks and enjoy!
If you want more sauce for this meatballs recipe, just add more grape jelly and bbq sauce in equal amounts!

We used to make this back in the late ‘60s early 70’s minus the instant pot. What goes around comes around!

No need to defrost if using big pot on stove or crockpot.
