Mince clove garlic and add to meat mixture while creating a bowl shape with the mixture
4
Add, salt, pepper and eggs and lastly water

Begin mixing from the outside pulling the meat over the mix of ingredients and rotate the bowl as you mix
7
TIP: Sprinkle more breadcrumbs in the mixture if too wet and not binding when forming with hands - do not make it dry
8
Once ingredients are all combined - choose your size! Larger meatballs should be pan fried before baking to ensure cooked through without drying them out
9
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes and while they are baking make your Jam Sauce
10
TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Combine all ingredients in a mix bowl and whisk together. Add more of any ingredient for desired sweet or spiciness, you can never go wrong with more jam.
11
If serving immediately - mix ingredients in saucepan and bring to a simmer
12
Remove Meatballs from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes
13
SERVING IN CROCKPOT: Using tongs transfer meatballs to a crockpot on low for 1 hour coat with sauce to desired sauciness then move to ‘Warm’ for the remainder of serving
14
SERVING IMMEDIATELY: Using tongs, transfer meatballs to a larger mixing bowl - add sauce to achieve desired sauciness and plate on their own or with Basmati rice and crispy green beans. Enjoy!
15
TIP: Double the sauce if you are serving in a crockpot to ensure they are super saucey and do not dry out
