Author Notes: So, please-stay with me here. I know the ingredients are a bit unorthodox, but if you try these, I promise, you will not beleive they were so easy. At every holiday party, I try new recipes, and inventive foods to taste. Also, ever year mom will make these-and they will be the hit. I don’t know why-or how, but they are the facts. – slulibby —slulibby
Food52 Review: A little sweet, a little tangy, a touch of spice and a lot of flavor—the unorthodox sauce is the perfect match for the tender meatballs. Actually it would be great for any meat; diners at my table have enjoyed the sauce with her meatballs, with lamb sliders, with roasted chicken—and there was even talk about how fantastic it would be with ribs. This is a delicious secret worth sharing! – gingerroot —The Editors
