1. For Part 1 combine all ingredients in a large oven safe pot and cook in a slow oven for 12 hours.

3. Measure 2 quarts and freeze the rest.

4. For part 2 combine all ingredients in a food processor and puree until very smooth.

5. Turn out into a medium bowl, cover and let stand 1 hour.

6. With a teaspoon and your hand form 40 small, oval meatballs.

9. Set aside.

10. For part 3 take the butter, water and salt, put into a pot and bring to a boil.
