Way too rich and sweet. Too much butter, sugar and sweet spices.

Meatballs are ruined by the extremely sweet sauce. If you omit the sugar this may be good.....I always try a recipe as written the first time.

MSG??? Both parents born in Sweden and Mom never put onions in anything she called Swedish. American (yeah I'm one too) are onion crazy. At least this one's got the cardamom in it. For me - No onions, no mushrooms, no green peppers either. No thanks but if you prefer go for it.

The sauce was interesting. It was edible, but different. Not sure if we'll make it again, but I love cardamon and enjoyed that aspect of the sauce.

Good meatball, but needs much less nutmeg. When I made them without nutmeg they were gobbled up by all!

I followed the recipe exactlly and they were way too sweet for us. I tried adding some sour cream and then some dry red wine and they still were not edible. I may try them again without using any sugar. The spice blend was good just overpoweringly sweet.

This is great recipe - it is very time consuming but I only make it once a year, for Christmas Eve. Actually, I make them ahead of time - the meatballs freeze beautifully. Then I just have to brown them and make the sauce. My mother's family is Scandinavian and they always cooked with these spices. I do think the sugar quantity is a misprint.
