Meat - Sweet And Sour Meatballs

Serves 4.
A classic Scandinavian recipe. Serve with Dutch Egg Noodles.

Ingredients

2 lbs lean ground beef
1 large onion
1 large apple
2 eggs
3 cups of toasted bread crumbs
sea salt
pepper
12 oz bottle of chili sauce
10 oz jar of grape jelly
1 lemon, juiced

Directions

Dice apple and onion and shred apple on a grater, use blender if possible but be careful there are no large chunks of apple or onion, add eggs if necessary to chop up chunks. Add breadcrumbs to apple, onion and egg. Put mixture in large bowl and add meat, mix throughly using your fingers, add salt and pepper.

Add chili sauce, jelly and juice of one lemon to a large pot with a cover and put on low-med heat letting everything melt together. Stir often.

Shape meat into golf ball sized balls or a bit larger and drop into sauce, keep hands wet so mixture wont stick, increase heat a bit, when all meatballs are in increase heat until sauce bubbles, cover pot reduce heat to low simmering for 1 hour (should still have small bubbles, turn meatballs half way through for best results). Cool pot and refrigerate until fat rises to top. Then remove fat, reheat and serve!
