Tips and FAQs for slow cooker meatballs
Do you have to use red currant jelly for this recipe? No, you can use grape jelly or apple jelly. Red currant jelly is not always available in stores, but if you can find it, it is our favorite jelly from this recipe.
How to store meatballs? If you happen to eat leftovers, let the meatballs cool and store in an airtight container. They will be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for 2-3 months.
How do i reheat meatballs? The easiest way is to use a microwave oven. However, the oven worked well and maintained the flavor and texture. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes.
