For a smoother glaze, you can use a whisk to combine the cranberry sauce, marmalade, and chicken broth. If you don't have Fresno peppers, you can substitute with another mild chili pepper. To make these meatballs ahead of time, cook them completely and then freeze them without the glaze. When ready to serve, defrost and reheat in the glaze.
