Steps:

• Cut crisco and butter into the flour and salt. Beat egg, vinegar and water.

NANNY'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE AND MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Make the sauce
• Put olive oil in pan, chop or crush cloves of garlic in oil, heat slowly, do not let burn or turn brown.
• Add tomatoes (I crush with my hand while adding them) garlic salt, paste, parsley, oregano, pepper & Romano cheese and bring to a simmer and let simmer for at least 1 1/2 hrs. (6 qt. pan works.)
• Make the Meatballs
• Put meat & pork in large bowl. Add pepper, salt, parsley, & cheese.
• Mix thoroughly. Add eggs & bread crumbs, mix until well blended. Oil hands and make into balls, whatever size you like, and don't squish them to death, just medium to lightly form into balls.
• Put oil in the frying pan & brown slowly (don't let them get crusty). Then drain them and put in the Spaghetti Sauce, and continue cooking them in the sauce.
• We like Italian sausages too, and cook them the same way & add to sauce.
• This makes about 24 large, 36 medium or 48 small.
• Serve with pasta of your choice, and crusty Italian Bread or Rolls, we like Garlic Bread.
