These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer after the holidays, and this is a great way to use them up.

I added a little bit of brown sugar to the sauce and it really enhanced the flavor. I also served the meatballs with a side of sour cream, which was a great way to cool down the heat.

I used ground turkey instead of ground beef in these meatballs and they turned out great. They were still very moist and flavorful.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I will probably make them again with less chipotle peppers next time.

I love the combination of cranberries and chipotle peppers in these meatballs. They're sweet, savory, and a little bit spicy. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans, and they were a perfect meal.
