Combine ground beef and pork (I used veal too), chopped onion,
crumbs, 1 tsp of the salt, pepper and nutmeg in a medium size bowl
until blended. Separate eggs, putting whites into a large bowl and
yolks into a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate the yolks. Beat whites
until they form soft peaks; fold into meat mixture. Shape into 1inch
balls and place in an electric slow cooker. (I browned these
slightly in a skillet). Combine beef broth, water, quartered onion,
vinegar, sugar, pickling spices and remaining 1/2 tsp salt in a small
saucepan. Bring to boil, lower heat and simmer 15 minutes; strain
into slow cooker; cover. (Do same- pour into skillet, reduce heat,
cover). Cook on low (190 to 200 degrees) 5 hours; remove meat balls
to a heated deep platter and keep warm. (I cooked the meatballs for
about one hour in the skillet). Turn heat control to high (290 to 300
degrees). Combine 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour with 2 Tbsp cold water in
a cup; stir into liquid in cooker until smooth; cover. Cook 15
minutes. Beat the saved egg yolks with a fork; beat in 1 cup of hot
sauce; return to cooker; cook 5 minutes; then pour over meat balls.
