Sweet Heat Molasses Meatballs

*** Recipes Tutorials ***

Horrible - sweet heat molasses meatballs I really should know better than to think 1 cup of molasses would be good. This was one of the worst flavours ever. I was almost too embarrassed to admit I've made these but I'll live with that and make sure that anyone else thinking of trying them doesnt.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 lbs of Frozen, pre-cooked Meatballs.  I really suggest using frozen for this recipe!  You could make your own meatballs however, I think the cooking time necessary for the raw beef, and the added juice and fat, would mess with the outcome and thickness of the Molasses Glaze.
• 1 cup Molasses
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp. Chile Powder
• 1 tsp. Ground Ginger
• 1 pinch of Cayenne..to taste
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions

1. In a large pot, simmer the Water,Molasses, Brown Sugar, Cayenne, Chile Powder, Garlic Powder and Ground Ginger, just until it’s blended…
2. Add in the Meatballs, making sure that they’re evenly coated in the sauce.  Let them simmer until they’re heated/cooked through.  They’ll take on the most beautiful, rich, deep color and flavor!  Make sure to stir them so they’re evenly coated and so the sauce thickens up without burning…
3. Serve them warm with adorable Pretzel ‘Stick’ handles…
4. Serve some of those sticky, sweet Molasses Meatballs up…and be generous…
5. Pour the remaining Molasses reduction into a dish and use for extra drizzling…OHhh Yeahhh…
6. Take the tastiest, stickiest, sweetest, Meatball one-biter EVER!  ~Enjoy! : )
