These sweet and tangy bites are sure to tide everyone over before dinner. At the buffet, set out some fun toothpicks to make for easy nibbling. —Anastasia Weiss, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania
Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 package (16 ounces) miniature hot dogs, drained
1 jar (12 ounces) apricot preserves
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine beef and onion, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-in. balls. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook meatballs in two batches until cooked through, turning occasionally.

3. Stir in pineapple; cook, covered, 15-20 minutes longer or until heated through. Yield: 16 servings (1/3 cup each).
