Lingonberry Sauce with Meatballs is a traditional Swedish dish that combines tender meatballs with a sweet and tangy lingonberry sauce. The dish is a classic example of Swedish cuisine, which is known for its simplicity and emphasis on local ingredients. The meatballs are made with a mixture of ground beef and pork, and are seasoned with a blend of spices and herbs that add depth and warmth to the dish. The lingonberry sauce is made with fresh or frozen lingonberries, sugar, and water, and is simmered until it thickens into a rich and syrupy glaze. This dish is perfect for special occasions, such as holidays or family gatherings, and can be served as a main course or as part of a buffet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, salt, black pepper, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix the ingredients together with your hands or a wooden spoon until they are just combined. Be careful not to overmix the meat mixture.
2
Use your hands to shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each meatball to allow for even cooking.
3
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.
4
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the lingonberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the lingonberry jam, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5
To serve, place the meatballs on a platter or individual plates, and spoon some of the lingonberry sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh lingonberries and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
