Personally, I prefer to make them with beef though, but I am only an immigrant in Sweden.<br /><br />2. I think you mixed up Swedish with Finnish, for Swedish uses a lot of swedified English (and German) words. Finnish is the crazy language with the many consonnants. :)<br /><br />3. I never thought of doing meatballs in the oven, what a great way to save time, because you can make the sauce and potatoes at the same time. Will definitely try this variant.Au3https://www.blogger.com/profile/13352400420359459249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-56950215474680107072016-05-06T20:47:45.746-04:002016-05-06T20:47:45.746-04:00After seeing this recipe on youtube I knew I had t...After seeing this recipe on youtube I knew I had to try it, but being lazy I didn't want to meatball the mixture and so made it meatloaf style instead. I also couldn't find my nutmeg or allspice so used mace. Very different flavors yes but it worked out very beautifully. I have now done several of your recipes and I always get great compliments for them!

Now I have a 20" stove and the griddle pan dwarfs the largest burner. So I was adjusting the pan to center it on the burner last night while I was making the meatballs, but I didn't stop to think that shifting a griddle with 1" sides was maybe something I shouldn't be doing when I had the griddle full of meatballs and gravy. <br /><br />Yup, I sloshed the gravy down the side of the pan and all over the stove. However, I noticed later on when I was cleaning the pan off, where the gravy had spilled, it acted like a tarnish remover (apparently my pans could do with a little polishing).<br /><br />Anyway, I thought if Chef John doesn't read this, maybe someone should tell him his gravy for the Swedish meatballs is also a copper cleaner.

I have made these and frozen them with the sauce and when I thawed and reheated it still tasted great. The sauce did look bad when thawed but went right back to creamy when reheated. Just be careful of scorching. Hope this helps. Have a great party. Merry Christmas.

I would like to make these again for a party tomorrow night, but I work during the day. Would it matter if I bake the meatballs tonight, or form them and bake them tomorrow before the party? My bigger concern is the sauce. If I cook it tonight, will it reheat well without separating? Or should I make the sauce before the party? If these logistics are unreasonable, I can always make Italian-style meatballs with a red sauce instead.<br />Thanks!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10165969743805383089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-22689049862423021942015-09-03T22:36:03.368-04:002015-09-03T22:36:03.368-04:00If you don't have lingonberries, you can use c...If you don't have lingonberries, you can use cranberry sauce.

I'm stuck with ground dark meat turkey instead of pork so I think I will add some lard to the mix. I'm glad to see comments from folks (especially the Swedes!) that this is a good recipe. I trust CJ a lot but still glad to see normal folks finding the recipe works. <br /><br />Regarding the holey wooden spoon, I have one of those things as well, it having come in a set. I had no idea either what that was for and it has largely lived in my drawer, neglected. CJ, your comment about how folks are always asking spurred me to hit the modern oracle, google, and check it out. So, turns out that hole is for specifically stirring risottos to get them to blend properly and also good for stirring batters. But it can also be used, as it is here, for a pokey stir-ey thing to make a sauce. philogaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570156509307983353noreply@blogger.com
