1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Bread crumbs - dried
1/2 cup	118ml	Milk
1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Ground beef
1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Ground pork
		Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground ginger

1		Egg - slightly beaten
6 tablespoons	90ml	Brown sugar
1/2 cup	118ml	Beef broth - concentrated
2 tablespoons	30ml	Butter - melted

Recipe Instructions

In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and milk; let stand a few minutes until milk is absorbed. Add the beef, pork, 1 teaspoon salt, allspice, ginger, onion, and egg and mix until blended.

Shape mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan and add 2 teaspoons of salt. Drop the meatballs into the water and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

Meantime, preheat the oven to 350F. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, broth, and melted butter; stir and heat until the brown sugar is dissolved to form a glaze. Drain the meatballs and place in a single layer in a 13x9" baking dish.

Spoon the glaze over the meatballs and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, turning the meatballs by shaking the pan after each 10 minutes of baking.
