1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius. Get a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.

2. Grab a big mixing bowl and toss in the breadcrumbs flour egg thyme salt and pepper. Stir everything together until it's all evenly mixed.

3. Throw in the ground beef and keep stirring until the meat is just blended with the other ingredients. Try not to overdo it.

4. Scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll each into a round meatball. Set the meatballs on the lined baking sheet as you go.

5. Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let the meatballs cook for 12 to 15 minutes or until they're fully done.

6. While the meatballs are baking get a skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pieces of old bread and fry them until they're crispy and golden about 5 minutes.

7. Take the bread out of the skillet and pour in the heavy cream. Heat it up until it starts to bubble and thicken a bit. Let it cook for around 5 minutes.

8. Toss the juniper berries into the cream sauce and let them cook for another 2 minutes.

9. Once the meatballs are cooked take them out of the oven and drop them into the cream sauce. Let everything simmer together for 2 or 3 minutes so the meatballs get a nice coat.

10. Serve the meatballs warm with a sprinkle of fresh thyme and a few lingonberries on top.
