Usually, for the Jewish holidays my mother makes sweet and sour meatballs-Her recipe is adapted from Second Helpings cook book- this year I made the meatballs using Second Helpings cookbook but I tweaked the ingredients a little bit from the original recipe for a little bit of a change. I prefer my version! It's got a little more of a kick to it.
