Description
These sweet and tangy cranberry-glazed meatballs are a holiday-worthy appetizer or main dish with bold flavor. We’ve doubled the batch and added orange zest, garlic, and a touch of chili for warmth. Juicy pork meatballs meet a rich, sticky glaze that’s savory, sweet, and full of seasonal cheer.
