Ok...my friend said basically they just take:

1 Large can of Jelly Cranberry sauce
1 Small can of Sauce Artura (found usually near the tomato pastes in Stores)

Heat them till they mix together.

Make meatballs as normal.

The sauce is usually enough for 1 lb of meat.

Hope it helps...not a perfect recipe but it's a starting point!

When I used to eat meat, I loved my mom's sweet and sour meatballs. My mom always served the meatballs over a bed of rice. Now I just make sweet and sour rice for myself.

My mom would prepare the meatballs (as you would for spaghetti and meatballs), but for the sauce, she would sautee an onion, add equal parts of ketchup and gingerale, and then add mushrooms. Bring to a boil, and then simmer. Add more gingerale or ketchup until the desired "tangyness" is achieved.

When I make my sweet and sour sauce, I use a combination of tomato sauce (just plain) and diet coke.

I know I posted this last night, but it's not here.... hummmm.

Anyway, when I make them, this is the recipe I use -
1 jar grape jelly
1 jar chili sauce

Yummm :)
