Pork Meatballs with Apricot Glaze

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2 . Stage

Mix ground pork, apricots, onion, ginger, garlic, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Use a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop to form into meatballs. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

3 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, about 15 to 17 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Meanwhile, whisk apricot preserves, soy sauce, Dijon, brown sugar, sesame oil, Sriracha, and Worcestershire sauce together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until well combined. Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.

5 . Stage

Stir cornstarch into water until dissolved, then add it to the saucepan. Cook, whisking constantly, until glaze thickens, 2 to 3 minutes.

6 . Stage

Add meatballs to the glaze. Toss to combine and simmer for 2 minutes.
