Directions
Meatballs in Cranberry and Pinot Noir Sauce, This has been a favorite of ours for many years It is from the Recipes from the Vineyards of Oregon cookbook Delicious and elegant meatballs, the food service where DH teaches now makes these for entertaining , I make these meatballs every year for Thanksgiving or Christmas but I follow the original recipe for Cocktail Meatballs in Cranberry-Pinot Noir Sauce Recipe from Sharon Beran of Beran Vineyards of Hillsboro, Oregon ( net/Appetizers/MeatballCranPinot htm) The original recipe calls for HOT CHINESE MUSTARD, not prepared mustard The Chinese mustard makes a big difference in balancing out the sweetness Also, it calls for 1 cup of Pinot Noir, not 1/2 For more cranberry flavor, I will sometimes use 2 cans of cranberry sauce but that’s something you can play around with as the sauce recipe is pretty forgiving When making the meatballs, I don’t go through the trouble of finely chopping onions I just buy dried minced onions and rehydrate in a small bowl of water them before adding them into the meat mixture You get a good onion flavor with no large pieces (great for kids!)These are always a huge hit!
