In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine moonshine, jam, brown sugar, lime juice and pepper. Stir until no lumps are visible. 

In a medium saucepan, pour the moonshine mixture over the thawed meatballs and cook over medium-high heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and hold a line when you draw your finger through it. Serve warm as an entree or as an appetizer.
