Swedish Meatballs

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• Kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons dry sherry
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 pound ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• Freshly ground pepper
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 3 tablespoons lingonberry or cranberry preserves
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• Chopped fresh dill, for topping
• Fresh pickled cucumber slices, for serving

1. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onion, season with salt and cook until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes; set aside.
3. Combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and the milk in a bowl; set aside until the milk is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Stir the sherry and mustard powder in a large bowl until dissolved, then beat in 1 egg.
5. Add the soaked breadcrumbs, the browned onion, the pork, turkey, honey, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste.
6. Gently mix with your hands until combined.
7. Dampen your hands; form the mixture into 36 small meatballs, about 1 tablespoon each.
8. Put on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
9. Put the remaining 1 cup breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
10. Whisk the remaining 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons water in a bowl.
11. Dip each meatball in egg, letting the excess drip off, then roll in the breadcrumbs; return to the baking sheet.
12. Heat about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the meatballs, gently stirring with a slotted spoon, until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
13. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
14. Let stand 10 minutes.
15. Fold the lingonberry preserves into the sour cream and top with the dill.
16. Skewer each meatball with a pickled cucumber slice and serve with the lingonberry cream.
