Polynesian Pineapple Barbecue Meatballs

It’s getting to be that time of the year again when parties, pot lucks and office gatherings abound. I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for something just a little different. While I’m retired, I still make all sorts of things for Hubby and Kiddo to contribute to office gatherings.

These mouthwatering meatballs bring together the sweetness of pineapples and the tangy taste of barbecue sauce. Call it East Meets West. This could be a pot luck dish, or an appetizer. How you serve it is up to you. Serve straight from your slow cooker or on a tray with little cocktail skewers. Have fun, and enjoy.

1 (20 oz.) can Pineapple Chunks
1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Place meatballs in the bottom of slow cooker.

In a large bowl, add barbecue sauce. Drain pineapples, add juice to the barbecue sauce. Add brown sugar.

Peel and grate garlic cloves into the barbecue mixture. Stir until well blended.

Add pineapple chunks. Pour over meatballs. Stir until meatballs are well coated.

Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours, or until meatballs are fully warmed through.
