SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS WITH PLUM
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.

SWEET AND SOUR PLUM MEATBALLS
I made this one morning to be a make-ahead dinner for my family, and it ended up in the refrigerator over night and then eaten the next day due to someone just having to eat out that night at their favorite resturaunt (mom! lol). It was perfectly fine though and the next night that we got to have them they were GREAT. I would almost recommend you let them sit the refrigerator for a while. It's like the marinate when they do.
