Yield
Serves: 10 (makes about 30 meatballs)
Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment or greased foil.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the meatballs. Roll meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. 

 
While the meatballs are cooking, in a food processor, pulse together the mango, garlic, balsamic, water and honey. Pour mixture into a medium saucepot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to looks slightly thick. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Place a toothpick into each meatball and dip into Mango Glaze. Add a cube of mango to the end of the toothpick. Serve warm and enjoy!
