Cómo preparar Sweetie Meatballs In Apricot Sauce

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Apricots: Place 1 cup dried apricots in a medium bowl. Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the apricots, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let soak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground meat (beef, pork, or a blend), 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 egg, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
While the meatballs bake, prepare the apricot glaze: In a saucepan, combine the soaked apricots (with their soaking liquid), 2 cinnamon sticks, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the apricots are very soft.
Remove the cinnamon sticks. Carefully transfer the apricot mixture to a blender or food processor. Add 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger and blend until completely smooth.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Transfer the baked meatballs to a baking dish. Pour the apricot glaze over the meatballs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly thickened and the meatballs are heated through.
