Sweet And Sour Meatball Sauce Ingredients For the utensils you will need: 8 quart Stock pot large mixing bowl cookie sheet For the meatball mixture you will need: 3 pounds of lean ground beef-I use about 85% lean. This time I used ground beef, but I have also used a mixture of 2 pounds ground beef and 1 pound ground turkey. 6 large eggs 1 1/2 cups matzoh meal 1 medium finely chopped onion 1/2 cup tomato ketchup 2 teaspoons salt For the sauce you will need: 12 ounce jar of apricot preserves (or any other fruit preserve) 2 small cans (6 oz each) of tomato paste 15 ounce can of tomato sauce 1 can (10 3/4 oz) of tomato soup +1 can of water 26 ounce can spaghetti sauce 1 cup brown sugar firmly packed 2 medium finely chopped onions 3 or 4 tablespoons of lemon juice 2 teaspoons salt Directions Make sauce first. Put all of the sauce ingredients into an 8 quart pan. Heat and stir sauce on medium until it begins to boil. Stir occasionally so the bottom doesnt burn. While the sauce is heating up, make the meatballs. You will need a large bowl. Add six eggs and beat with a fork or eggbeater just until they are blended. Add the chopped onions, ketchup, salt, matzoh meal, and stir until well combined. Add the hamburger and mix until combined well. I use rubber gloves for this part. Roll meatballs so they are about an inch and a half in diameter. Set the meatballs on a cookie sheet as you roll them. When you are finished rolling meatballs, drop them one by one into the boiling sauce. REDUCE TEMPERATURE TO MEDIUM LOW. Cook for 30 minutes gently stirring a couple of times from the bottom up. At the end of the first 30 minutes stir so that meatballs on the bottom are redistributed to the top. Cook for another 30 minutes. Notes: The meatballs will not all be covered by sauce at first. You can spoon a little sauce from the side up and over the top meatballs trying hard not to break any of them. As the sauce and meatballs cook down, they will sink. If you decide to bake the meatballs and then add them to the sauce-or just eat them plain, reduce the salt in them by 1/2 teaspoon.
