Steps:

• Vanilla Syrup:Combine sugar, vanilla bean, star anise, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cover 30 minutes. Strain into a heatproof container; let cool completely. (Makes 1 cup, or enough for 8 drinks.)

PINEAPPLE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• First, make the meatballs: combine all meatball ingredients (there's 7, beef to garlic powder) in a bowl and mix well; shape into 1-inch balls.
• Brown them in a nonstick frying pan (I do it in 3 batches) until browned all over; drain on paper towel then place in a large ungreased casserole dish.
• To make sauce, combine brown sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan, then whisk in the 1-3/4 cup pineapple juice/water combination until mixture is smooth.
• Add vinegar, soy sauce and worcestershire sauce; stir.
• Simmer, uncovered, on medium-low heat for about 8 minutes, or until thickened.
• Pour sauce over meatballs and add pineapple tidbits; stir gently to combine until meatballs are coated with sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• If you want a lot, this recipe doubles well.
