Yummy, these sound fantastic! It's been awhile since I made meatballs so I will try them, this way.

I love the sweet with the apricot and the sour or zesty with the vinegar. Plus it has garlic powder which in my opinion should be in a food group all its' own. I love it and add it to every recipe except sweets. LOL
