Holiday Recipe
We wanted to share one of our favorite recipes with you.  It’s our Swedish Meatballs recipe...a favorite for Christmas!

2lbs ground beef
1lbs  ground pork
2 eggs -beaten
1 cup mashed potatoes
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each:  pepper, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, allspice
1 cup milk
1 pint cream for gravy

Mix together to make a soft dough that can barely be handled.  Form into small balls and roll in flour.  Fry on all sides in a small amount of hot fat or butter until brown.  Pour over the meat balls 1 pint cream.  Cover and let simmer slowly until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes.  Or they may be covered and baked in a slow oven, 325 degrees, for about 40 minutes.  The cream makes a rich, deliciously flavored gravy.

Have a wonderful Christmas!
