Directions:
Mix together cracker crumbs, onion, milk, egg, salt, ginger. Add ground chuck. Mix well. Mixture will be messy and you want to wear thin gloves! Roll into meatballs about a 1 1/2 diameter max.
Melt shortening and brown meatballs on all sides. Drain fat from pan. In a bowl, mix cornstarch and sugar together. Add to hot pan. Stir in pineapple juice, vinegar, and soy, stir mixture thoroughly. Cook over med. heat about 10 minutes or at a full boil. Boil for one minute stirring continuously. Add meatballs, pineapple chunks, and green pepper. Cook together on med/low for 10-12 minutes. If you like, you can double all the liquid ingredient and cornstarch and sugar to make double sauce.

Personal Notes:
I prefer making twice as much sauce. It makes a nice party dish and can be frozen ahead easily. Serve with toothpicks or as a side dish spooned alongside another dish. This recipe never fails to get rave reviews!
