Sweet and sour meatball recipe



This is my favorite cookbook. Our ward that I grew up in did this (I think as a fund raiser - that tells you how old it is). It is from the late 80s, has old fonts, lots of stains, but has some of my favorite recipes. It is also fun to make things and look at the name that submitted the recipe and remember them, also! Here is the recipe:

Sweet and Sour Meatballs - from Brenda Melum in Marysvilee 2nd ward

1/2 c. soy sauce

1 c. pineapple juice or water ( I add the juice and then add water to make it to the amount)

1 c. brown sugar

1/4 tsp. ginger

1/4 c. vinegar

garlic to taste

pineapple chunks - I usually add most of the can that I took the juice from

cornstarch if you want it thicker- I hardly ever do this.

The original recipe calls for 2 lbs of hamburger, but I use frozen meatballs from costco, I just dump some in until they are all covered w/ the liquid.

(I put the meatballs in before I bring it to a boil.) Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. I almost always double this recipe. We have it over rice. Yum!

Maybe I'll fix this the next time Keagan's over for dinner. He would be so surprised to have something that doesn't make him totally gag!
