Swedish Meatballs With Grape Jelly

A former co-worker made Swedish meatballs in a crock pot and add the sour cream a big dollop of grape jelly as the secret ingredient.

I looked around the .... Internet no luck. I do not want chilli and meatballs in jelly. Me not looking meatballs with sauce Sweden white or clear.

I am looking for Swedish meatballs in a brown sauce.

Hope you can help!

use your regular recipe gravy, omit the sour cream and add 1 small jar of grape jelly. that's all I do. (I also used frozen precooked meatballs and it was great!)

find a recipe for brown sauce with a roux to make and use any recipe for Swedish meatballs and add to the gravy ... and then you can add a little sour cream to it just before serving and I suppose your grape jelly??? ?? I make mine with brown sauce too, and sour cream .... it lightens the brown sauce gives it a nutty brown roux ...

My mother just recently tried and they were good or ok, but not better than frost free. They also do not "hold" well. gravy can be obtained using a standard recipe and removing all the salt and adding either mix or beef base.

I highly doubt the origin of grapes used jelly, I'm not sure I've never even seen grape jelly for sale in Sweden.

However, in Sweden it is traditional to eat blueberry jam (called lingonsylt) with meatballs, and since cranberries are not exactly common anywhere else, I think the grape jelly is a fair approximation .

Here is a pretty good recipe, in English (and a nice picture of how it is generally used): http://www.sweden.se/templates/cs/Print_ ...

I'll warn you now, what I was served as Swedish meatballs in other countries, Slim similarity is mainly based on the form, what you get if you were served them in Sweden. But try the recipe, it's the real thing (and honestly, the sauce, usually of a package, make any kind of sauce you like, you like:)

Try brown your meatballs in a pan, put them in the crock pot and cover with a mixture of equal parts grape jelly and cocktail sauce (yeah, it's true --- the stuff you put on the sea a mixture of ketchup and horseradish likea). Also works well with short ribs, slightly braised and finished in a crock pot, put in uncooked or in a covered roaster in the oven and covered with the same mixture. In both cases much use, jelly and cocktail sauce mixture so.
