That was me -- I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Here is the recipe again...

Sweet & Sour Meatballs

1/4 cup grape jelly
1 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 small onion - finely chopped
1 tsp lemon juice

Meatballs:
1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 tsp salt
1 8oz can tomato sauce
3/4 c. dry bread crumbs

1. In a large saucepan combine all sauce ingredients and warm over low heat. Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix together all meatball ingredients and roll into small 1 inch meatballs.

2. Add meatballs to sauce mixture gradually and cook over medium heat for about 30-35 minuts, turning carefully from time to time.

3. refrigerate overnight if you are able to to let flavors blend. They can be reheated for 8-10 minutes in microwave.
