Hawaiian Meatballs

Makes about 4 servings
1 14oz can pineapple chunks
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 TBS cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 TBS soy sauce
3 TBS vinegar
1 batch Plain Meatballs (recipe below)
1 green pepper, cut into large squares
1 onion, cut into large squares
Drain the pineapple chunks, pouring the juice into a measuring cup. Add enough water to the juice to make 1 1/4 cup of liquid. Pour this into a saucepan. (Save pineapple chunks for later.) Add to the juice in the saucepan the brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, soy sauce, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is clear and thickened. Dump in the entire batch of meatballs, cooked and drained, and let them simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes. Add the green pepper, the onion, and the pineapple chunks, bring to a boil, and cook for about 5 minutes more. Serve over rice.
