"It is important to use fresh sausage in this and not the presmoked type. Otherwise you will never shape it into meatballs."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine meatball ingredients until smooth, then chill.
Step 2
Saute the onion, celery and juniper berries in the oil until tender. Stir in the kraut, salt, pepper, apple juice, and water. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 60-90 minutes or until most all of the liquid has cooked away. Keep warm.
Step 3
Form meat mixture into meatballs, using wet hands. Grill meatballs (you can place on soaked skewers if you like)(I like grilling them on an oiled fine-mesh grate) over hot coals or broil or bake until cooked through. Serve meatballs with kraut.
