Does anyone have a good recipe for sweet and sour meatballs? I got one off the internet once, but it was a little. . . .exotic. . .!

I'm looking for something that kids will like too. . .thanks!

I make them all the time. I use a can of cranberry sauce (jelled) and a can of tomato sauce. I dump them in a pot and while they start to heat up I make my meatballs - chopped meat, spices, egg and a little bit of bread crumbs or matzoh meal. Form into balls and add to pot. Stir carefully to make sure all the meatballs are in the sauce. Lower the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked and the sauce has thickened a little.
They are simple and delicious and they freeze well. I serve them on Friday night as an appetizer with or without rice.

Enjoy!

I was going to write exactly this post!!

I always serve them when I have guests with kids and they love them!

They also freeze nicely so you can make a big pot and freeze half. I only have to make these once a month and freeze for future use.

Those are both really easy recipes! Thanks ladies!

My mother's Israelized sweet and sour meatballs
1/2 kg ground beef
mush with ketchup and garlic
set aside

in pot combine
1/3 large can tomato sauce with about half a cup of water (I use crushed tomatoes)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup or less brown sugar (could be subbed with honey, jam, sweet chili sauce, etc)
1-2 big gulps of sweet red wine (grape juice works just as well)
some soy sauce.
Bring sauce to a boil and form balls out of meat mixture, cover the pot and let simmer for about 30 min. before serving.
A staple in our family on friday nights (at my parents and in my own home).

I make my sweet and sour meatballs the same way I would make regular meatballs and tomato sauce. I just add some extra sugar and lemon juice to the tomato sauce. No need for cranberry sauce or anything.

Yup! I use a 15 oz. (or thereabouts) can of each for about 2 lbs of chopped meat. They really are easy.

Whoever tries them - let me know how it goes.
