Cocktail Meatballs with Chutney



This is one of those recipes that is sure to please, great to whip up if you are asked to bring a plate of nibbles or for a potluck dinner (just make the balls a bit bigger).  I made these and various other nibbles last Friday for a Midwinter Christmas function and they were everyone's favourite.

500 g topside mince
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Chutney Sauce
1/2 cup tomato chutney or sauce
1/3 cup plum jam
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons mustard
salt and pepper to taste
