  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 sp. allspice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • salt, to taste

Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1/2 large onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 to 3 cups dry breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt, ground pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375F. Combine the ground beef, pork, onion, eggs, evaporated milk,
1 cup of breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a food processor, and process until well

whisk in sour cream, dill weed and allspice and remove from heat. Taste and add salt
and pepper as needed. Serve meatballs covered with sauce.

“Our Christmas Day tradition is to pick a country and create their customary holiday meal. In 2014 our daughter-in-law traveled to Denmark and brought back some favorite recipes. We made a Danish spread which included rugbrød (traditional rye bread), agurkesalat (cucumber salad), rødkål (red cabbage), brunede kartofler (carmelized potatoes) and frikadeller (meatballs). This recipe was one of our favorites.”
