Ingredients
For the meatballs:
- 1 pound 90% ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons 100% real fruit berry preserves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
For the sauce:
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- ½ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon 100% real fruit berry preserves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all meatball ingredients in order, mixing well after each addition. Form into small balls and place on baking sheets. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While baking, combine all sauce ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a low simmer.
- When meatballs are done, either coat them in the sauce or place toothpicks in the meatballs and serve the sauce as a dip. Or, for easy entertaining and to keep the food warm, you can put both the sauce and the cooked meatballs in a slow cooker on low for serving.
- May be frozen and reheated, if desired.
