The meatballs were pretty good, but the sauce was too sweet! I had a 20oz can of pineapple and I used all the juice but only 3/4 of the pineapple and just 1/4 c brown sugar, (since other reviewers said it was too sweet). Maybe I should have used less juice. I think these would be good as appetizers, but in my opinion, they don't work as a meal. It tasted good at first (I served it over brown rice) but I couldn't quite finish my plate because it just got to be too sweet. Maybe it needs just the right side dish to balance out the sweet. I do like the ginger in the meatballs though! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
My neighbor says she makes a very similar recipe that her family loves. She also told me that there is a difference between canned pineapples. Apparently there is pineapple canned in its own juice but there is also pineapple canned in a SWEETENED juice....who knew?? No idea which one I used, but maybe that is why some found it too sweet??
