Don't like meatballs, so used a sliced pork steak. Added a little soy sauce and it was delicious.

I made this last night with homemade meatballs. It is very quick and easy to make. It was very tasty but the sauce was a bit too watery.

This was ok. It's easy to make. 2 apples is too much I find. Use good quality onion marmalade - I'm sure it makes a difference.

Did this last night, and was delicious. We made our own meatballs with pork mince, red onion, sage and Worcester sauce. Would suggest making a little more gravy than in the recipe. We weren't sure whether the apple would work well, but sure enough, was lush.
