Notes

This recipe serves 4 people with each having 4 meatballs.
You can make these ahead of time and store them in the fridge for 24 hours prior to grilling.
Make extra and serve them cold in a sandwich (subway!). Serve as an appetiser with extra marmalade glaze as a dip.
They will keep for 4 days in the fridge after cooking. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
