Low Sodium Mini Meatballs And Sauce For Kids

---

My son's going through a meatball phase, but i don't like all the salt and corn syrup in the canned kind. this sauce is no-salt-added, and has a touch of cane sugar to help the taste. i boil the meatballs in salt-free homemade chicken stock, but you can use plain water, too. tasty for adults, too! just edit spices as needed, too. i put minimum amounts for small children.
