Saucy Sweet & Sour Pineapple Meatballs image

This dish is great as an appetizer, or add some red and green peppers and serve over rice and you have a meal. This recipe has been used in my family since I was a kid--not too sure where it came from aside from my mom. It also works very well in a crock pot if you have several hours to let the sauce sit and thicken.

These meatballs are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of brown sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs were dry and the sauce was too tangy. I won't be making these again.

I used chicken instead of pork and it turned out great! The sauce is so versatile, I can imagine it would be good on other proteins as well.

Oh my goodness, these pineapple meatballs are a taste sensation! The sauce is perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness and sourness. The meatballs are tender and juicy, and the pineapple adds a lovely tropical flavor.
