Evelyn'S Sweet And Sour Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 cup sweet pickle juice (eg. bread and butter, sweet mixed, etc.)
1 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon soya sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional)
meatball (also good for meatloaf)
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup milk (use 1 c for meatloaf)
1 1/2 teaspoons onion flakes or 1/2 small onion, chopped and sauteed
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Preparation

Sauce:
Mix all ingredients (may leave out cornstarch, but sauce may be thin).
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer while preparing meat.
Drop in meat and simmer at least 30 minutes more.
If I'm not in a hurry, this sits and cooks on all day on the stove top.
Meatballs:
Combine all ingredients and blend thoroughly - hands work best!
Roll into small balls and drop into sauce, or cook first then add to sauce.
Serve over rice.
NOTE: Sauce is also great for ribs.
