Pomegranate Meatballs
Sweet & Tangy make the perfect combo:)
Ingredients
Pomegranate Sauce:
2 cups 100% Pomegranate juice ( we used Pom company)
1 cup Ketchup
2-3 tbsp. Molasses/Honey*
1/2 tsp. all spice
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
Meatball Mixture:
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 frozen garlic cube/ 1 fresh garlic clove minced
2 heaping tsps. chicken soup mix
Instructions
Sauce: Bring all ingredients to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 20 minutes.
Mixture: While the sauce is cooking, prep the meatballs. Combine all ingredients together, and form small- medium size balls (whatever your preference) and place into sauce gently. Cover and cook on a low flame for 1 1/2 hours. Just let it cook and forget about it. The meat becomes soft and is the best texture. The sauce also thickens a bit:)
Notes
* We used molasses here. It gives that nice dark color and sweetness. But feel free to swap for a honey, and adjust to how sweet you like it.
