A tip from a Swedish chef: Add some black or red currant jelly to the sauce, or even black currant jam will do. It ads sweetness instead of using sugar and the extra flavor will go excellent with the meatballs. Another tip is if your pork is lean, simply add some finely cut bacon when softening the onion.

I come back to this video every year on Thanksgiving. This recipe has become my Thanksgiving tradition I serve my family every year. This has been my 4th year now. Delicious recipe worth adding to the family recipe book!

Chef John, you are absolutely my favorite YouTube personality ever. You never fail to give me a chuckle or two while showing how to make some of the best chow I've ever eaten. Don't ever

Everyone do yourselves a favor and make these. I'm making them for the third time this month. They're unbelievably good. Thank you Chef John for this gem of a recipe it's perfect 👌❤️

Ive only had this once in my life as a kid, I'm 22 now, and still remember every flavor in this beautiful dish to this day as I ate it in Ikea waiting for my mom to finish shopping 😍😍😍

I love Chef Jon's commentary. They're just as good as his cooking!!

Heyo, as a swede i can approve this. but my tip is to fry the meatballs before putting the sauce in the pan, as the browned bits adds alot to the flavor.
secondly, don't work the meat too much as a loose and wonderfull meatball can retain a lot of the juices if fried on a medium high heat. third, make the meatballs before you make the gravy and keep em on a low heat in the oven while you're getting em done (or in a pot with a good lid). it makes all the difference.

Made it a month ago and everyone loved it. Doing it again tonight over spaghetti noodles. Thanks again Chef John. Everyone thinks I am culinary genius by using your recipes.

I worked as a waiter in a Scandinavian restaurant and the female chef made the best I’ve ever had.. I’m thrilled to try this recipe.. Yummy! I love your nod to that Swedish furniture store’s meatballs, because they are pretty good..

After months of torture of watching this video I've decided to finally make this. Meatballs are cooking as we speak so I can hardly wait!

[djamisonr]

I have made these for guests multiple times and they have all raved about them.  Thanks.  P.S. Everything that I have made from your recipes has been excellent.  Thank you again!!!  Please don't quit making your awesome videos...
