Roll the meat mixture into golfball (or a bit smaller) sized balls.
Drop the balls into the boiling water and cook covered for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile heat the oven to 350F and in a saucepan combine the brown sugar, broth & melted butter, stir & heat until the sugar is dissolved and forms a glaze.

Spoon the glaze over the meatballs and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Turn the meatballs a couple of times.
