This is my grandmother's sweet and sour meatball recipe. For those who like to use up everything, it's a great way to make use of sweet pickle juice - as the pickles are used up, I just save the juice in a jar at the back of the fridge. Easy, quick prep, can be cooked on stove top, in oven or crockpot and can cook meatballs in the sauce or pre-cook in microwave, fry pan or oven. This recipe freezes well and is easily doubled. Also kid-friendly; my 4 year old who is going through the stage of "KD and hotdogs or nothing" eats this without prompting!

Steps:
- Sauce:.
- Mix all ingredients (may leave out cornstarch, but sauce may be thin).
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer while preparing meat.
- Drop in meat and simmer at least 30 minutes more.
- If I'm not in a hurry, this sits and cooks on all day on the stove top.
- Meatballs:.
- Combine all ingredients and blend thoroughly - hands work best!
- Roll into small balls and drop into sauce, or cook first then add to sauce.
- Serve over rice.
- NOTE: Sauce is also great for ribs.
