Slow Cooker Curry-Mustard Glazed Meatballs

This is a great dish to serve at a holiday party or even to bring along to one.  It is so easy to prepare and has a different flavor than the usual slow cooker meatballs. I love curry so this was a big hit with me.  My husband even convinced my son to try them and I can now officially say they are "kid approved."  At least by my 12 year old!  This recipe comes courtesy of Betty Crocker......

1 (12-oz.) jar pineapple preserves  (I used apricot/pineapple preserves)
1 (8-oz.) jar Dijon mustard
1 (8-oz.) can pineapple tidbits in unsweetenend juice, undrained
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
2 1/2 lb. frozen cooked Italian meatballs (qbout 80 meatballs)

In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except meatballs.  Bring to a boil.  Place meatballs in 2 1/2 to 3-quart slow cooker.   Stir in preserves mixture.

Cover; cook on high setting for 4 hours, stirring twice.  Stir well before serving.

My kids beg me to make them meatballs and yet I only rarely do it. It seems that I may need to try these kid-approved ones.

I've never had curry meatballs before, but these sound delish. Plus I like how easy they are to prepare in the crockpot.

Mmmm, mmm, mmm. These sound awesome, but I can't say I've ever seen pineapple preserves before, so might have to tweak it a little. Or I guess make my own!
