This Month's Recipe
½ lb. ground pork
½ cup finely diced onion
1 small clove garlic crushed
1 egg
½ cup Italian bread crumbs
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 can tomato sauce
1 cup beef broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix ground beef, pork, onion, garlic, egg and bread crumbs thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste as well as a dash or two of Tabasco. Form meatballs with a small ice cream scoop and place on a baking sheet. Bake in 350 degree for about 15 to 20 minutes. Turn meatballs periodically in order to get a good crusty coating on all sides.
Combine the cranberries, tomato sauce and beef broth and cook for about 15 minutes. Add the meatballs and cook very slowly for approximately another 30 minutes. Chill and refrigerate. Reheat just before serving.
These can be made in advance and kept very nicely for three in four days under refrigeration. They can also be frozen very effectively and made a week or so in advance of a party or gathering.
Bon Appetit!
