Title : SWEDISH MEATBALLS
SWEDISH MEATBALLS
For years my dear friend Jenny would host a wonderful Christmas cocktail party honoring her Swedish heritage. A smorgsbord of traditional Swedish favorites included tiny meatballs in a rich brown gravy and platters of homemade gravlax with rye bread. An antique punch bowl held warm, spicy Glog, a sweet mulled wine that is deliciously addictive. Neophytes learned the traditional Swedish toast "Skol" which was enthusiastically declared while gazing into your partners eyes.
We always stayed much too late, laughing and lingering near the tray of ginger snap cookies (which was placed very near the Glog!). Although Jenny now lives in Stockholm, we see each other when she comes to visit family in New York. I miss her dearly and her wonderful authentic Scandinavian cooking which inspired me to create this Swedish Meatball recipe.
