Sweet and Sour Plum Meatballs

Recipe #94864 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: MizEmerilLagasse

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.

    used my own meatballs also.. on a hunch I made two sauces and turned it into two batches, plum and a hot apricot with extra red pepper. Excellent recipe!

    I am rating the sauce only here as I used my own meatball recipe. The sauce is fabulous! I ended up doubling it as my DH loves lots of sauce...when I make these again (which I will!) I won't double the chili flakes as it was too hot for him. I did substitute apricot jam for the plum, but otherwise followed to the letter. Thanks MizEmerilLagsse!
