Swedish meatballs usually feature a creamy herbal sauce sweetened with berries; this is more like a sweet and sour barbecue sauce. That said, they're really tasty and the syrupy sauce just begs to have practically anything dipped in it. I wish I had made the meatballs smaller, and I overcooked them in the first step; that's not the recipe's fault and the finished product was still really good. Made for Pick A Chef.
