1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tbs. quick cooking tapioca

2. Partially thaw and separate meatballs. Carefully stir meatballs and pineapple into ketchup mixture.

3. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Stir before serving.

  1. We just made this last night to take to a friend's house--half turkey meatballs/half "veat"balls. It was very good, even though we left out the tapioca and some other things. A little too acidic, but if made according to the recipe, that probably would not be a problem.
    We used the leftovers for meatball sandwiches.
