We had the Elders over for dinner tonight, I always look forward to our turns to feed them. We had to bow out last time as our water got turned off for community repairs, so I jumped at this next opportunity to feed them.
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
1-28oz. bag meatballs
average size can crushed pineapple with juice
3/4 cups apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup grape jelly
3/4 cups salsa (we used pace picante)
squirt of ketchup
up to 1 cup cornstarch slurry (half and half water and cornstarch mixed up)
Mix up everything but meatballs and slurry
add meatballs and coat with sauce
cook in slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low, or 3-4 on high
just before done taste and add vinegar, ketchup or brown sugar as desired
Add slurry and let cook for about a half hour before serving over rice with veggies on the side
Note: I didn’t think I’d like using chunky salsa, but it was a nice texture with the crushed pineapple.
I’ve seen a recipe where people JUST have grape jelly and salsa with the meatballs, I think that’d be too grapey… So I adjusted it.
That’s sounds yummy. I’ll have to try that sometime. I always mess up sweet & sour meatballs or chicken.
