- While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce. Add the cranberries, honey, tomato paste, bbq sauce, hot sauce, and salt to your blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
- Transfer the cranberry sauce to a small pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat, cover with a lid halfway to prevent splatters, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stovetop Method
- Place the cooked meatballs into a large pot and pour the cranberry sauce over the top. Cook them over medium until they're hot.
Slow Cooker Method
- Place the cooked meatballs into your crockpot and pour the cranberry sauce and water over the top. Mix them around and then let them cook for 2-3 hours on high or for 6-7 hours on low heat.
