Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, pour milk over the bread crumbs; let stand for 10 minutes. Add the egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, pepper and cloves. Crumble beef, pork and veal over mixture; mix well (mixture will be soft). Shape into 1 inch balls.

In a large skillet, brown meatballs in oil in batches. Drain on paper towels. Place in greased 13 inch x 2 inch baking dish.

In a small bowl, dissolve bouillon in water. Stir flour into pan drippings until blended; add bouillon mixture, jam and chili sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over meatballs. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and sauce is bubbly.
