• Combine pineapple and juice, brown sugar, vinegar, and soy sauce in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl or cup and gradually stir into the boiling sauce until slightly thickened.
• Place meatballs in a slow cooker. Pour pineapple sauce over meatballs.
• Cover and cook on Low until meatballs are no longer pink inside and have absorbed the sauce, 4 to 5 hours.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, add all meatball ingredients; mix well with hands.
• 2. In a large skillet, add about 1/3 cup oil. Make meatballs about the size of a walnut and place in hot oil. Continue cooking and turning until done.
• 3. Place meatballs into a 4 quart crock pot. Add pepper and pineapple.
• 4. In a medium sauce pan, add the sauce ingredient. Whisk making sure all ingredients are blended and no lumps from corn starch. Bring to a slow boil. Continue stirring until thickened. Now, is where I taste the sauce. If it needs more soy, sugar or vinegar; add now.
• 5. Pour the sauce over the meatballs, peppers and pineapple. Cook on low for 3 - 4 hours or until peppers are done. If not eating right away, and you have a warm option on crock pot, keep warm until time to serve. (The meatballs are already cooked, so the cooking time really depends on your crock pot, or how long you want to cook them. The longer the better flavor they have. It's totally up to you.)
• 6. If doing the skillet method...drain meatballs. Cook the sauce till thickened. Add the pineapples to the sauce, then pour over the meatballs; cover and simmer till desired tenderness.
