EVELYN'S SWEET AND SOUR MEATBALLS

Evelyn's Sweet and Sour Meatballs image

This is my grandmother's sweet and sour meatball recipe. For those who like to use up everything, it's a great way to make use of sweet pickle juice - as the pickles are used up, I just save the juice in a jar at the back of the fridge. Easy, quick prep, can be cooked on stove top, in oven or crockpot and can cook meatballs in the sauce or pre-cook in microwave, fry pan or oven. This recipe freezes well and is easily doubled. Also kid-friendly; my 4 year old who is going through the stage of "KD and hotdogs or nothing" eats this without prompting!

Ingredients

1 cup ketchup
1 cup sweet pickle juice (eg. bread and butter, sweet mixed, etc.)
1 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon soya sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional)
1 1/2 lbs ground beef

Steps:

Sauce:.
Mix all ingredients (may leave out cornstarch, but sauce may be thin).
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer while preparing meat.
Drop in meat and simmer at least 30 minutes more.
If I'm not in a hurry, this sits and cooks on all day on the stove top.

Combine all ingredients and blend thoroughly - hands work best!
Roll into small balls and drop into sauce, or cook first then add to sauce.
Serve over rice.
NOTE: Sauce is also great for ribs.
