Shape the mixture into 1 inch meatballs. Place the meatballs on a wire rack set inside a shallow baking pan. Bake them uncovered at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, until they're no longer pink.

Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan, and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
