For a smoother sauce, you can blend the cranberry sauce and pineapple chunks in a food processor before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of chipotle chile based on your spice preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. These meatballs can also be made on the stovetop. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are heated through. Consider serving these meatballs over rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
