SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS WITH PLUM



Sweet and Sour Meatballs With Plum image

I made this up when I had very little grape jelly left and I was in the mood for sweet and sour meatballs . I looked at a bunch of recipes and then I made up my own using items that i has on hand. I like this recipe better than the ones with grape jelly. This makes about 6-8 servings as an entree and about 12 as an appetizer.
