    The meatballs didn't have much flavor and my husband thought they were too soft. Alot of ingredients for not alot of flavor. The dipping sauce was good.

    Oh Paula!!!!!!!!!! You made my day. Im always looking for a new treat to give the family for game day. Decided to make some test ones early this week to try them out and they were GREAT!!! Even my toughest critic "my mother" loved them. I did add extra cranberries though. They were tender and moist and the sauce was great and the orange zest is a must its an extra kick. Thanks again Paula:
