Meatballs With Ginger Sauce image

This comes from my book with handwritten recipes which I have used for the past 30 years, I think it came from a Huisgenoot wenresep (winning recipe). I have tweaked it over the years to suit my families taste. The whole family enjoys this, and my grandkids eyes light up when I've made this dish!
