1/4 cup day old bread, cut up very finely
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 lb lean ground pork
turn your slow cooker on high then.....
mix all the ingredients together in a bowl except the pork...let the liquid soak into the bread crumbs

form meatballs and then put into fridge

for the sauce you will need
16 oz grape jelly
14 oz ketchup
12 oz water
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1tablespoon of corn starch
enough water to make a slurry
mix all in hot crockpot.. bring to a boil...add meatballs(since using lean pork, no need to brown meatballs) bring back up to boil..turn down and cook for approx 3-5 hours.

15-30 minutes before you want to eat, mix the slurry into crockpot to thicken

Awesome looking meatballs, sounds great.

But.....I'm really impressed with that rice. Perfection. Looks so fluffy, every grain is individual, good seperation, no starchy goo, veggies look crisp and ready to pop, impressive. Very nice rice!!

Very, very nice, Bam!

I love that mixture of grape jelly and chili sauce - it sounds weird, but when the meat cooks in it a long time, it's absolutely delicious!

I like your additions to the sauce even more!

I made a recipe for Asian Meatballs that I found in Taste of Home magazine.

Mine were very easy and delicious (wonderful with the white sauce!) and when I went to post this, I found Bam's recipe.

I'm trying his next!
