For an elegant touch, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving. To maintain warmth, transfer the cooked meatballs to a slow cooker on the 'warm' setting until you're ready to serve. Experiment with different flavors of jelly for a unique twist – apple or cranberry jelly can offer delicious variations. If you don't have shortening, vegetable oil works well as a substitute.
