Scale
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
- 1 large orange
- 12-18 frozen meatballs
Instructions
Place the BBQ sauce and maple syrup in a large pot. Juice the orange and add the fresh orange juice to the pot. Whisk everything together until combined.
Add 12-18 frozen meatballs to the pot and gently stir to coat with the BBQ mixture.
Place the pot over medium-low heat, cover, and allow the meatballs to thaw as the sauce heats up. About 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid after the meatballs have mostly thawed and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
