I thought this was pretty good....The kids really liked it. Thanx -
this recipe is awesome. i use it now whenever i want sweet and sour meatballs. it's the best sweet and sour meatball recipe i've ever tried -
This recipe is so easy to make! It has become a favorite with everyone at our house, and we cook for very finicky girls ( 17yr,12yr and 2yr ) so that's saying a lot. We use natural pineapple juice to make it a bit less sweet, and low sodium soy to reduce the sodium, and it is Fabulous!
