2 cloves minced garlic

4. Spray two 9 x 13 baking dishes with fat free cooking spray.
5. Form the ingredients into 18 balls (approximately 1/4 cup per ball) and put them in the baking dishes. Now bake for 30 minutes.5. Pour all three SAUCE ingredients into a sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until jam is melted.
