Meatballs with Spicy Fruit Sauce Recipe
Meatballs can be prepared in advance, and before serving, pour the sauce and warm up in a preheated oven for 5-8 minutes. Very tasty sauce! It smells of orange, vanilla and nutmeg. I doubted whether it was worth adding vanilla, but I added it and did not lose. I didn't boil the sauce, just brought it to a boil, and then poured it over the meatballs.
