Sweet & Sour Meatballs

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.

46 -56 small meatballs (change servings and units)

Made these for a potluck and they were a definite hit! I admit I used pre-made meatballs... only wonder how much better they would have been by following the recipe! These even beat out another "orange BBQ" meatball that was also there. Very good!!!

    Delicious, delicious! I had these mesatballs at an Ontario Zaar appy party and they were just wonderful. The combination of the sweet and sour and pineapple was great. A welcome change from the tomatoe or grape jelly based recipes of sweet and sour. Thanks for a keeper!

    Great recipe - I had no time to make the meatball portion, so I used a bag of frozen meatballs and just heated them through. The sauce was Killer !!!! Mine needed a little more liquid so I added a little orange juice. This is a keeper!!
