Pineapple Appetizer Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients

    1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple

    1 egg

    1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

    1/8 teaspoon pepper

    1/2 pound bulk pork sausage

    1/2 pound ground beef


    GLAZE:

    1/4 cup packed brown sugar

    1/4 cup ketchup

    1/4 cup white vinegar

    1/4 cup water

    2 tablespoons Dijon-mayonnaise blend

Directions

    Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Place pineapple and 2 tablespoons juice in a large bowl (set the remaining juice aside for glaze). Add the egg, bread crumbs and pepper to pineapple. Crumble sausage and beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls.

    Place meatballs on a greased rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 12-15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°.

    Meanwhile, in a large skillet, combine glaze ingredients and reserved pineapple juice. Add meatballs. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 5-10 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 2 dozen.
