Bourbon Pineapple Meatballs

I've been making Bourbon Pineapple Boneless Wings quite a bit lately, and can't help but obsess over the taste.  I've even been experimenting by cooking the sauce in a slow cooker before coating the wings.  

Everybody I make them for has been 100% pleased.

So much so, that I decided to try out the sauce on meatballs to see how it translated.  And, if this post is any indication, you can see that I found success!

I tried this on both beef and turkey meatballs, and I like both, although I must say I'm slightly partial to the turkey variety.  I think maybe the white meat is a bit milder for this sauce, but it's definitely doable on either.
