Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, add some salt.
Roll the meat mixture into golfball (or a bit smaller) sized balls.

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.

Turn the meatballs a couple of times.
