These meatballs were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think next time I'll use less honey.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of raisins in savory dishes, but I'm so glad I did! The raisins added a subtle sweetness that perfectly complemented the savory flavors of the meatballs.
