SAUCY SWEET & SOUR PINEAPPLE MEATBALLS



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.

SWEET 'N SOUR SAUCE FOR MEATBALLS OR CHICKEN



Sweet 'n Sour Sauce for Meatballs or Chicken image

Sweet and tangy sauce for meatballs or chicken. I developed this recipe as a variation on my simple sweet and sour dipping sauce used in my Asian inspired recipe #336740 recipe. Still very simple to make but a little more sophisticated with the addition of brown sugar, pineapple and green pepper. I hope you enjoy it too!

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 cups of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (I use Johnny's brand)
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, undrained (or chunks)
1/2 cup vinegar
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
1 small green pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan stir together both sugars, cornstarch and seasoning salt. Mix well.

  • Stir in Worcestershire and cherry juice.
  • Add green pepper, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
  • For Meatballs: Pour sauce over your favorite cooked meatballs in casserole dish or in a pan on the stove and heat through.

Cover and bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of chicken. Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center. Uncover the last 10 minutes of cooking.
