Sweet N' Sour Meatballs

• 2 cup all natural no sugar added pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup loosely packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup all natural ketchup
• 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp sriracha
• 30 to 50 pre-cooked meatballs (depending on size)
• 1 can (20oz) pineapple chunks in natural juices - drained, juice reserved
• 2 tbsp green onions - sliced diagonally for garnish (optional)

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine 2c pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and bring to a boil.
2. In a small bowl make a slurry by whisking together the cornstarch and 3tbs of the reserved juice from the pineapple chunks.
3. Slowly pour the slurry into the sauce, whisking constantly.
4. Bring back to a simmer, whisk in sriracha until completely combined and simmer about 2 minutes to begin thickening.
5. Stir in meatballs, reduce heat to medium, and simmer covered with lid vented until meatballs have heated through and sauce has thickened.
6. About 8 - 15 minutes.
7. Time will depend if you are using frozen or thawed meatballs.
8. NOTE: You can use store bought or homemade, in frozen or thawed state.
9. When meatballs are heated through, turn heat to low and stir in pineapple chunks.
