These meatballs are formed with the basics except corn flakes replace the bread crumbs. But the best part is the sauce: cranberry and chili sauce, brown sugar and lemon juice. Sweet and spicy!

Cranberry Cocktail Meatballs

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup corn flakes, crushed
2 large eggs
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup tomato ketchup
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16-ounce) can cranberry sauce
1 (12-ounce) can chili sauce
1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
2. In a large bowl combine ground beef, corn flakes, eggs, parsley, ketchup, green onion, soy sauce, garlic and pepper; stir well. (Use your hands if necessary to blend thoroughly.)
3. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on ungreased shallow baking sheets and bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
4. In a medium saucepan combine cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until bubbly, stirring occasionally. Pour over meatballs and serve hot.

Makes about 40 meatballs.
