Made as written for ZWT6, this recipe is a tasty easy-fix & combo of ingredients that we really liked. That said briefly for the record, my only prob w/the recipe was that it did not work as a cocktail meatball for me since I see them as finger-food skewered by a toothpick to eat 1-handed while you hold your drink w/the other hand. :-) But doing that does not allow for a fair share of the sauce, apricots & raisins. You can spear the apricots, but the raisins & sauce are left behind. For me at least, this works best as a starter course plated to eat w/a fork or served in a sml dish. That way you can enjoy the full taste experience w/ea meatball. I quartered the apricots so their strong flavour would not jolt the taste buds, but rather share their goodness w/more of the meatballs & other ingredients. Hopefully I will be able to post a pic after ZWT is over & thx for sharing this recipe w/us.
