VENISON MEATBALLS
"I learned to cook game while my husband was a forestry student," recalls Sheila Reed from Fredericton, New Brunswick. "We lived off the land as much as possible. I still enjoy these savory meatballs in a slightly sweet barbecue sauce. I make a big batch for an annual pool party and there are never any left."

VENISON MEATBALLS
Harry Van Heerden, my son's godmother's father, comes to visit each year from Durban, South Africa. Even at eighty-two, the silver-haired gent is quite a handful. When the sun starts to get low in the late afternoon he'll holler out "Vaapgae!" the Afrikaans word for "barrel." That's the cue to bring him a brandy. Harry shared this mustard recipe with me and it does wonderful things for game, whether gemsbok or whitetail.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Add the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix thoroughly. Add the venison and knead with your hands until well blended. Form into golf ball-size meatballs.
- In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the mustard sauce, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Serve the meatballs with the remaining mustard sauce on the side.
- In a small bowl, combine the mustard, condensed milk, vinegar, oil, and salt. Keep refrigerated for up to 1 month.
- This mustard sauce is very good on smoked meats and with summer sausage.
- If desired, keep half of the sauce as is and add 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish to the other half.
VENISON MEATBALLS WITH A CREAMY BOURBON REDUCTION
Ed created these delicious meatballs with a creamy bourbon reduction for the Superbowl gathering at Marc and Lori's house after Marc supplied us with this huge deer. Ed says while shaping, do not squeeze the balls. The jalapeno sausage could be substituted with a mild Italian. We served this with toothpicks as hors d'oeurves but these meatballs would also be really good with a tomato sauce and served over pasta. Personally, I love the bourbon sauce. The Bourbon gets a mellow, beefy aromatic taste which compliments the hearty meat. These meatballs are great the next day served over mashed potatoes. And, make a really great sandwich with melted provolone. Rapture!

Tips:
- Use fresh, ground venison: Fresh venison will produce the best-tasting meatballs. If you don't have access to fresh venison, you can use frozen venison that has been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing the meatball mixture will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a light hand when shaping the meatballs: Gently shape the meatball mixture into 1-inch balls. Don't pack the meatball mixture too tightly, or the meatballs will be dense.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the sauce: Browning the meatballs in a skillet will help to seal in the juices and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Use a good quality wine for the sauce: The wine you use for the sauce will have a big impact on the flavor of the meatballs. Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors of the sauce to penetrate the meatballs and make them tender.
- Serve the meatballs over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes: Venison meatballs are a versatile dish that can be served over a variety of sides.
Conclusion:
Venison meatballs in wine sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. Serve the meatballs over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
