EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Plum sauce is a thick sweet-and-sour sauce made form plums, apricots and sugar. Also called duck sauce, it's commonly served with duck, as well as with pork and spareribs. Hoisin is a sweet-spicy sauce made from soybeans, garlic and chilies. Look for the sauces in the Asian food section of the supermarket.

Try this sauce over frozen cooked meatballs instead of over homemade ones. Combine one 1-pound package of frozen meatballs and the sauce in a slow cooker; set it on Low and heat them for 4 to 5 hours.

To easily shape uniform meatballs, first divide the meat mixture into 36 equal 1-tablespoon portions. Moisten your hands and roll each portion into a smooth ball.

The meatballs are really good. However, the sauce was "too sweet" is the feed back that I received most from party goers. I doubled the recipe and I think next time I will cut back on the duck sauce because it IS very sweet on its own and then if you use a honey based or other sweet BBQ sauce it can become overwhelmingly sweet-- that is if you are not one for sweet sauces.

These meatballs were great! I was able to find the sauce ingredients and water chestnuts inexpensively at our local "Fresh and Easy" store. I forgot to get the green onions so I substituted yellow onions. And I didn't have time to simmer the meatballs very long in the sauce so I just cooked the meatballs and put the sauce in a pot and heated the two together on low about 20 mins and then cooled and put in the fridge to heat up for dinner later in the day. My husband and the kids all loved these and I'll make them again soon. I think these would be fantastic for a party or potluck!
