Crockpot Sweet and Sour Meatballs

I promised I would share this lovely recipe when I posted the picture on Valentine's Day. So here it is... in the shape of a heart. But heck, depending on what you are celebrating, you could make it in the shape of a Shamrock, or Baseball (you, know for Opening Day for Baseball- ya, I live with a Sports Nut).
