Swedish Meatball Skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. The meatballs are made with a mixture of ground beef and pork, and they are seasoned with a blend of spices. They are then grilled or baked until cooked through. The meatballs are then skewered with pieces of vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. The skewers are then brushed with a glaze made from brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. The skewers are then grilled or baked until the vegetables are tender and the glaze is caramelized.

- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS
Made from a combination of beef and pork, these meatballs are a Scandinavian favorite that goes from appetizer to main in a flash (just add noodles). It's a tradition to serve them with sweet-tart lingonberry jam; if you can't find it, grape or red-currant jelly is a good substitute.

BEST SWEDISH MEATBALLS
Our family has been using this recipe for more than 40 years. The tender meatballs are made with a combination of beef, veal and pork, then spiced with nutmeg and ginger. If your family likes their meatballs a little milder, reduce the nutmeg to 1/2 teaspoon. Coffee adds nice color to the gravy, which is delicious over noodles.-Rev.
