Pork and Apple Meatballs with Brown Sugar Glaze

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 800 grams Pork Mince
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 Apple, peeled and grated I used Royal Gala but any apple thats in season will do
  • 1 egg

Glaze

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 4 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Meatballs

  • Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F)
  • In a large bowl combine pork, breadcrumbs, apple and egg. mix very well.
  • Shape into small meatballs. I use a mini ice cream scoop that gives a nice uniform size.
  • Place meatballs on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 15 minutes in the oven.

Glaze

  • While the meatballs are baking. Place sugar, and both vinegars into a large frypan and heat on low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Remove the meatballs from the oven and place in the frypan with the glaze and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes - (mixture should be bubbling but not boiling. Turn meatballs several times until the glaze has reduced and thickened and the meatballs are nicely coated.

Notes

If like me you will be reheating these the next day you may want to reduce the cooking time to 10 minutes if it is thickening too quickly.  I found 15 minutes was perfect.  If you find when you go to reheat (on a low heat) that the mixture has thickened too much and is in danger of burning while you're reheating just add a little water at a time until it loosens a little.  You don't want it too runny though or it wont coat the meatballs properly.
