Mix the ground beef with the egg, some breadcrumbs, pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Form ping-pong-sized balls. Bring plenty of water to a boil and cook the balls for 8 minutes. Drain and fry in a pan until browned. Deglaze the pan with the cherry juice and stir in the cornstarch. Then warm the morello cherries. I couldn’t imagine it at first, but it tastes absolutely delicious! Serve with white bread dipped in the cherry sauce. For kids, add a little sugar to the morello cherries.
