One can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen® fire roasted diced tomatoes can be used instead of the water in the sauce.

Instead of toothpicks, try spearing these meatballs with pretzel sticks.

Absolutely delicious. Just as an experiment I did a few substitutes, I used minced garlic instead of garlic salt, and used brown sugar instead of the dried cherries, (only because I didn't have the other ingredients). Even my "picky eater" grandchildren loved them. Everyone went back for second helpings. Will definetly make this again.
