Czech Meatballs Instructions

  1. Let’s make the sauce. Combine cranberries, sugar, honey, 1/4 cup water, orange juice, cinnamon, honey and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes until lightly thickened.
  2. In parallel, we will make meatballs. Soak the bread in milk, add to the minced meat along with the rest of the milk. Here – greens, salt, nutmeg. Stir and form the meatballs.
