Sweet and Sour Meatballs


My husband is a hunter and I have find different things to do with deer meat.  This is one dish that the whole family really enjoyed!

Meatballs
1 pound ground meat (beef or venison)
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 cup minced onion
1 egg
1/3 cup bread crumbs

Sauce
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons corn starch
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 can pineapple tidbits
juice from can of pineapple tidbits and water to equal 1 1/2 cups

Mix the first seven ingredients together.  Form small meatballs.  Let rest in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes.  Brown in a pan with a little olive oil.  Drain well on paper towels.  Make sauce out of the next five ingredients EXCEPT for the pineapple.  Place sauce and meatballs into the pot you used before (after draining any fat that was left).  Slowly simmer for about 30 minutes.  Add the amount of pineapple you want the last 5 minutes.  Serve with white or brown rice.
