I don't know, but I can't seem to get the yummy cranberries out of me since Christmas and Thanksgiving. I found these on-line and they sound really, really good.
- one egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup soft bread crumbs (unflavored)
- 1/4 cup almonds (nuts are always optional to me)
- 2 tablespoons of cranberries, dried, chopped up
- 1 tablespoon of raisins, chopped up
- 2 tablespoons of chopped onion
- 1/4 teaspoon of allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1/2 pound of ground up meat of your choice
- 1/2 pound of ground up meat (another type) of your choice
- 3/4 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
- 1 can of jellied cranberry sauce, or your homemade sauce if you have it
- 1 tablespoon of vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon of dry mustard (trust me, this helps add some yum!)
In a large bowl combine the egg, bread crumbs, nuts, cranberries, raisins, onions, cloves, and allspice. Stir well. Add in the ground meats; mix up and incorporate the flavors for a few minutes. Wait about 5 minutes. Start forming meatballs. Place in a semi-hot skillet to brown on all sides. Remove from heat. Place in a crock pot.
While the meatballs sit, in the same skillet, put the catsup, cranberry sauce, vinegar and dry mustard. Mix up well, let simmer slowly for about 2 minutes. Remove and put on top of the meatballs.
Cook for about three hours or until meatballs are done, on low. If you want to cook them faster, don't add the sauce, just put the meatballs in with about 3 tablespoons of water. Cook them in the crockpot on high. Then add sauce 20 minutes before serving. |
