This recipe, submitted by Mary S. from Ada, Oklahoma, won second prize in The 2005 Old Farmer’s Almanac Reader Recipe Contest for oatmeal.

Ingredients
MEATBALLS
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced onions
2 teaspoons Worcestershire
1/4 cup milk
GLAZE
1 cup raspberry jam
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/3 cup yellow mustard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

For meatballs: In a bowl, mix all meatball ingredients together until well combined. Shape into 1-inch balls.

Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Cook meatballs in a single layer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally to brown on all sides. Drain well and place in a single layer in a 13x9-inch baking dish.

For glaze: In a food processor or blender, purée jam and vinegar together until smooth. Place jam mixture and mustard in a microwave-safe bowl, stir to blend, and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes, or until jam is melted. Spoon the mixture over meatballs. Bake for 15 minutes. Serve warm.
