I like experimenting with different flavours for my meatballs because I like having them regularly. I recently discovered the goodness of apple cider vinegar when added to them, so I made this Smoky Cider-Glazed Meatballs recipe. It’s such a simple dish you can effortlessly perfect at the first attempt.
