Set it, forget it then break out the cocktail toothpicks!
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine Somethin’ Somethin’ Sauce, cherry preserves, tamari soy sauce and bourbon together and whisk until smooth.
If the mixture seems like its very thick, add a tablespoon or two of water to thin.
Add the meatballs to the crock pot in an even layer.
pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meatballs, gently stirring to combine.
Cover the meatballs and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, stirring once or twice to keep everything coated.
These meatballs can be cooked on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, but low and slow yields a better result.Add some green onions (my favorite) or parsley to garnish and break out the toothpicks to serve!
