Venison Meatballs w/ Jalapeño Pepper Jelly

I'm pretty positive everyone has tried the meatball recipe where you mix half grape jelly and half barbecue sauce at least once. Well this juicy jalapeño pepper jelly recipe tops it!

Tender and juicy meatballs smothered in a sweet and spicy jelly, baked and slow-cooked to perfection.

During Christmas time my mom canned a whole bunch of this Jalapeño Pepper Jelly and it is AMAZING! I typically eat it over cream cheese served on a baguette and wanted to put myself to a challenge and use it with venison. This recipe was perfect. Pepper Jelly can also be found at stores.
