For best results, use high-quality ground beef with a lower fat content to prevent the meatballs from becoming greasy. Fresh breadcrumbs create a lighter, more tender meatball. If using store-bought breadcrumbs, consider pulsing them in a food processor for a finer texture. Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of jelly or preserves for the sauce. Peach preserves, apricot jam, or even pineapple preserves can add a unique twist. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. These meatballs can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store them in the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve these meatballs as an appetizer with toothpicks, or as a main course over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
