Ingredients
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup finely crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons snipped dried cranberries
2 tablespoons milk
Dash ground cloves
8 ounces ground pork
8 ounces ground cooked ham
Nonstick cooking spray
1 16-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
1 12-ounce bottle chili sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 16-ounce package small fully cooked smoked sausage links
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. For meatballs, in a large mixing bowl combine the egg, crushed graham crackers, onion, cranberries, milk, and cloves. Add ground pork and ham. Shape into 50 meatballs.
