  1. Spray your crock-pot with nonstick spray. Add the raspberry preserves, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes, and stir together, using a whisk if you want.

  2. Once combined, remove a 1/2 cup of the mixture and set aside.

  3. Add the meatballs (it's okay if they are frozen) and stir to coat.

  4. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours, or on high for 2 and 1/2 hours.
