Original Recipe Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, milk, and bread crumbs. Season with cloves, allspice, salt, and pepper. Shape into 1 inch balls.
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs until evenly brown; drain excess fat. Stir in water, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and bay leaf. Cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Skim off any fat. Transfer meatballs to a serving dish, and keep warm.
Combine flour with 2 tablespoons of water, and whisk into pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour gravy over meatballs.
