Sweet and Sour Ham Meatballs

I took this recipe from a french cook book ( Qu'est-ce qu'on mange ???) and copied it here because I never want to loose it. I have made these for the past 6 years for Christmas and each time have been asked for the recipe. Its easy to make and sooooooooooo good. The sweet and sour sauce, and trust me there is plenty of it, makes the meatballs perfectly tender. Can be frozen
