# Instructions:

In your slow cooker, whisk together the apricot preserves and barbecue sauce until they're nicely combined into a smooth, glossy mixture.
02 -
Toss in the frozen meatballs and mini smokies, then give everything a good stir to make sure each piece gets coated in that sweet and tangy sauce.
03 -
Cover and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally if you remember, until the meatballs are heated through and the flavors have melded beautifully.
04 -
Gently fold in the drained pineapple chunks, cover again, and let everything cook together for another 20 minutes so the pineapple warms through and absorbs some of that delicious sauce.
