SELF SAUCING HONEY GINGER AND GARLIC PORK MEATBALLS

What is it with kids and meatballs? If I were the betting kind, I could place money on it that if I asked my kids what they wanted for dinner they would reply with ‘pizza or meatballs’ every.single.time. And I can literally count the times they have had meatballs on two hands, but it’s still up there.

I picked up some nice pork from the farmers market the other day, and decided to finally give in and make them up a little batch of honey and garlic pork meatballs. Half for them this weekend as mama is not going to be home (woohoo – more on that below), and half for the freezer for when the next inevitable request comes along. For tips on freezing, make sure you check out the notes section.
