Authentic Swedish Meatballs

You will see many recipes and versions of Swedish Meatballs. My mother came to this country around 1908 and this was her mother's recipe in Sweden.

Sauté 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion in butter.

Mix together with:

• 1/2 pound each veal & pork (preferably ground together)
• 1 cup half & half
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup catsup or tomato sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice
• A little chopped parsley, fresh or dried

Mix all together thoroughly and refrigerate several hours before using (very important).

Make small round balls no larger then the end of your thumb.

Fry in a little butter until brown.

Shake skillet constantly to keep meatballs round.

Place the browned meatballs in a covered casserole in a slow oven, 325° to 350° F. for 30 minutes.

They are delicious and have a very special flavor.
