Molasses meatballs are the perfect party food. They’re tasty and so easy to eat when you’re standing. 

When I was growing up my mom and dad always had a neighbourhood party before Christmas. Mom would make a great variety of nibbles and all of us kids would be the serving staff. It was great fun to be part of a grown-up party.

My favourite dish to pass was meatballs because they were easy for me to eat as I served. I was also in the habit of counting how many meatballs each guest ate, especially those who ate more than I did.

Molasses meatballs are are an easy make-ahead dish. You can use homemade meatballs or store bought.
