    This recipe is soooo easy. Just 4 ingredients, and really really tasty. I have made it three times and its gorgeous with mash, and some green veggies on the side. My 4 children love it..a great after school dinner!

    This is a very easy recipe & simple to do. I used the ready cooked swedish meatballs which worked equally as well.

    I love that there are only four ingredients to this recipe - especially seeing as we always have apples in, and veg stock in the cupboard, and the ammount of onion marmalade required is half a jar meaning it nicely makes two lots of this recipe without having any left over to waste. On top of all that - it's delicious!

    Nice family dinner. I used homemade meatballs made with half pork, half beef mince, breadcrumbs and an egg. The meatballs needed to be turned over half way through cooking to cook evenly in the liquid. I will try with pears next time.
