Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Something a little different in the meatball line.

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
1 tablespoon flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup flaked coconut
3 tablespoons salad oil
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons red currant jelly
1 teaspoon sugar

In a bowl, blend the beef, salt and pepper. Shape into twelve balls. Mix flour with beaten egg. Dip meatballs in egg mixture, then roll in coconut, coating well on all sides.

In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil. Add meatballs and brown well on all sides. Lower heat and cover pan. Cook until meatballs are done.

In a small saucepan, combine mustard, vinegar, jelly, and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring until smooth and heated, about five minutes. Pour sauce over meatballs. Goes well with rice. Serves four.
