Thank you so much! I will try this one night for supper!


I really don't have too many cookbooks. I hardly use the ones I do have. But the one cookbook I bought (for a fortune too) after I got married was this cookbook from the recommendations of many imamothers. And I gotta say, it was worth it. Regular cooking I don't do too much from there but for something interesting and y't (last year sukkos it saved the day, no inspiration).

I took it out of the library once, but I didn't get enough time with it. I'll take it out again and then decide. I always try a few recipes from a cookbook before I invest. I only have 3 cookbooks because of this.
I take a lot of recipes from online searches as well. Once you're comfortable with food, you can usually tell by the make-up of the recipe, if you will like it.
My SIL bought me a cookbook for a bridal shower gift, and told me that she loved to cook from it. Once I browsed it, I realized that it was not my taste at all. I tried one recipe and it was gross. (Mayo in sesame chicken? Have you ever? I should have realized that it would be gross, but I was newly married and was desperate to find an easy sesame chicken recipe to please dh.)
Later on, I found 1 recipe that I really liked in there, but that's it. (It was a chicken salad recipe that I was looking for for the longest amount of time. I had a taste of it at an old friends' years ago, and I had lost the recipe. Lo and behold, this cookbook, which came out after I had tried that salad, had the recipe!)
I later gave the cookbook to my MIL, as she told me that she wanted to buy it.

OK now for those of us who don't use prepared products...how does one make this one without cranberry sauce?

My mother's Israelized sweet and sour meatballs
1/2 kg ground beef
mush with ketchup and garlic
set aside

in pot combine
1/3 large can tomato sauce with about half a cup of water (I use crushed tomatoes)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup or less brown sugar (could be subbed with honey, jam, sweet chili sauce, etc)
1-2 big gulps of sweet red wine (grape juice works just as well)
some soy sauce.
Bring sauce to a boil and form balls out of meat mixture, cover the pot and let simmer for about 30 min. before serving.
A staple in our family on friday nights (at my parents and in my own home).



Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe! I was looking all over for Cranberry sauce and couldn't find it! Maybe around thanksgiving time in Israel they'll have it. ANYHOW these came out SUPURB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used grapejuice, 1/2 a can of crushed tomatos.... some ketchup! YUM thanks for saving the Shabbat
meatballs and they were also a great leftovers!!! mmhmm!
