Step 1
Combine all the ingredients for the glaze in the crockpot. Cook on high, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Step 2
While the glaze is cooking, prepare the meatballs. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, except the olive oil. Mix until well blended. Shape into 24 meatballs.
Step 3
Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet, cook the meatballs over medium heat until browned. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Add the meatballs to the slow cooker and stir to coat with glaze.
Step 4
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 ½ hours, or until the internal temperature of a meatball tested with a thermometer reads 165°F. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
