They don't love warm pineapple, so I think to make it kid friendly at my house I would just use the juice in the sauce and increase the peppers (my kids LOVE peppers).  Fantastic recipe.  I wouldn't change a think for myself!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-10-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"pols005"},"reviewBody":"This is a weird combination that oddly works. I substituted Gardein meatless meatballs (which are fabulous by the way, family can't tell the difference), and I used less than half the amount of brown sugar called for. Honestly, with the pineapple and juice, an additional 1\/2 cup sugar would have been way over the top. Family liked it and went back for seconds.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-06-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"LaurieFancy"},"reviewBody":"I got a recipe from my mother-in-law many years ago for Chinese Sweet & Sour Meatballs.  To make a long story short -- I lost it.  She has since passed and this recipe is the closest I have come to the actual one.  Thank you so much!!  Can't wait to make Nana's Meatballs again!  The whole family loves them!!  ;-)  P.S. - They are better with homemade meatballs, but the frozen kind saves time.Made the Tangy Sweet & Sour Meatballs tonight.  I tripled the soy sauce and ended up using a 14-oz (398 mL) tin of pineapple instead of a 20-oz, but it all worked out just fine!  There was plenty of sauce to go on the rice.  Delicious!!  I used an oblong casserole dish instead of a skillet, and baked them at 300F for about 40 minutes in order to soften the peppers and pineapple.  Better recipe than Nana's...","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2012-10-02","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Wife_In_An_Apron"},"reviewBody":"This was so scrumptious!!!!
