- 1 (20-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 1 cup chili sauce
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 orange, zested and juiced
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the sweet and sour sauce: Mix the tomato sauce, peach preserves, chili sauce, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and Neely Dry Rub in a medium saucepan. Simmer while you prepare the meatballs.

These were a hit a party I had last weekend! Everyone loved them! I doubled the recipe and actually cooked the meatballs separately for a little bit, and then put the sauce and meatballs in a crock pot to keep warm. Very good!

I love the meatball recipe! Of course, I put a little spin on them with some additional seasonings. They were so delicious that I had to make myself stop eating them. I didn't make the sweet & sour sauce because I didn't have all the ingredients so my review is just for the meatballs. I made a spicy sour cream dipping sauce. The meatballs & my dipping sauce wwere great together..
