1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven (if using oven method): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the cherry preserves, soy sauce, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well until smooth.
Coat the Meatballs: If using frozen meatballs, you can thaw them in the microwave or cook them directly from frozen.
If baking: Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour half of the cherry glaze over the meatballs, tossing to coat.
If using a slow cooker: Place the meatballs in the slow cooker and pour the glaze over them, tossing gently to coat.
Cooking Options:
Oven Method: Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through, basting with extra glaze halfway through if desired.
Slow Cooker Method: Cook on low for 2-3 hours or high for 1-2 hours, occasionally stirring to coat the meatballs in the glaze.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven or slow cooker. Transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the cooking process.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if using.
Enjoy: Serve warm as an appetizer and enjoy your delicious Cherry Glazed Meatballs!
Tips:
You can use homemade meatballs by mixing ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, and seasoning, and then baking them beforehand.
Adjust the level of heat by modifying the amount of crushed red pepper flakes based on your preference.
