Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400º. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, salt, pepper, mustard and egg. Mix well. Use your hands to gently form 1 1/4-inch meatballs and place in an ungreased baking pan; bake for 20 minutes. In a large saucepan over low heat, stir together the marmalade, chili sauce, bourbon and Tabasco and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the meatballs to the sauce and stir to coat. Garnish with sprigs of mint. Makes about 40 meatballs.
