I improved the taste of my version a lot by making my own Piffi Allkrydda mixture fur the sauce.
Its a spice mixture that goes really well with the taste of the berries!
Niklas Ekstedt’s recipe is authentic, Swedish, and tasty AF. If you can’t find venison, beef will do.
EDIT: I imagine this is one of those things where there are 1,000’s of different “proper” recipes. I shared this one as the guy who wrote it is Swedish, so I thought there must be some authenticity there, and I’ve made it, so can testify that it’s good. Not saying it’s the best or the most authentic, so slightly confused by the commenters saying it’s somehow wrong?
Beeing Swedish I can confirm that a recipe by Ekstedt’s is not only authentic but probably really really good as well. He’s gotten a few Michelin stars over the years.
Well you took a treasured national meal and linked a recipe more advanced and different than the basic one most Swedes eat/do at home and said this is what meatballs is. That’s set up for comments 😄
Then you need to make proper Swedish meatballs. IKEA’s stuff doesn’t compare.
Do you have an authentic recipe? It’s always hard on the web to find out which “true 100% reals straight from grandma” recipes are the right ones.

Needs more chopped parsley. Like waaay more parsley. And a tablespoon of mustard
Juniper berries?
Mate I never touched her berries
Proper Swedish meatballs are easy to make. Wtf is this fancy stuff? Nah man… Source: I’m Swedish.
Only needs minced meat, bread crumbs, eggs, onion and some spices. Source: am Finnish, we do meatballs too.
Well that just sounds like normal meatballs. What makes Swedish meatballs distinct?
They are the same.
Ikr where’s the frozen meatballs and powder mashed potatoes?!
Also needs more ketchup.

I’ve never done mine with juniper berries though. I think you can skip that.
