If you are attending at holiday party in the next couple weeks definitely sign up to bring the appetizer.  Last night, in anticipation of being the official lamb provider for our holiday parties, I tried out a  Red Pepper Jelly Glazed Lamb Meatball recipe. This recipe is ideal for party going; easy to prepare and extraordinarily delicious. You’ll be a hit!

Happy Holidays!
