Crockpot Sweet and Sour Meatballs

I promised I would share this lovely recipe when I posted the picture on Valentine's Day. So here it is... in the shape of a heart. But heck, depending on what you are celebrating, you could make it in the shape of a Shamrock, or Baseball (you, know for Opening Day for Baseball- ya, I live with a Sports Nut).



Crockpot Sweet and Sour Meatballs  (adapted from http://appetizersnacks.com/50/appetizer-meatballs/)

Ingredients:
1 package frozen meatballs (I chose PC Blue Menu Chicken Meatballs)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 large can pineapple tidbits
remaining pineapple juice from the can
2 peppers- red/orange
1/4 cup white or rice vinegar
Salt to taste

Directions: Mix brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, pineapple juice, and vinegar together to create the sauce and pour over frozen meatballs in a slow cooker. Add fruit and vegetables,  Cook on low heat until meatballs are heated through (2-3 hours?). Serve over rice.
