Sweet and Sour Meatballs Appetizer
Use long wood skewers that you can break off to keep the food items together.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. frozen meatballs, thawed
- 1 large can of pineapple chunks, drained (save the juice for later)
- 2 green or red peppers cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup vinegar
Instructions
- Bake the meatballs at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until browned.
- Remove from the oven and drain any grease or absorb with a paper towel.
- Microwave the pepper pieces for 1-2 minutes until tender.
- Thread one piece of pepper, one meatball, and one piece of pineapple onto a wood skewer. Break off at the end, making all kabobs the same length. Repeat until you’ve used all of the ingredients.
- In a small bowl combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar and vinegar. Add more brown sugar if needed to thicken the sauce.
- Lay the skewers on a platter and drizzle the sauce over the top. Serve.
How to keep warm:
- Follow directions above and place on a cookie sheet or baking pan at 200 degrees to keep warm until serving.
- For smaller bites cut the meatball in 1/2 and use a smaller piece of pepper.
