Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Traveling by car for 4 hours, then golfing for 4 days with the "guys" meant I had to send something easy for my husband to take to the college reunion golf tournament. This recipe from page 165 of Tastes & Treasures cookbook was perfect with a Crockpot to the rescue.

Note: the photo of the empty crockpot was taken after all the meatballs were consumed. Apparently they were a big hit.
