Oriental Meatballs

This one is a definite winner! I can't do Chinese... ever since the midnight meeting with the round porcelain, it's been impossible. But these, these I can do! My friend Jessi made these for our family, and they were gone quicker than I could dish myself up! They also freeze beautifully.

1 pound sausage
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp ginger
-Sweet and Sour Sauce (below)

Combine sausage, bread crumbs, milk, egg, soy sauce, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper and ginger. Shape into balls, using about 2 tsp mixture for each; arrange in 10x15" jelly roll pan. Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 10 minutes. Prepare Sweet-Sour Sauce; pour over meatballs. Bake until sauce is bubbly hot, 10 to 15 minutes longer.

Sweet and Sour Sauce
Combine 1/2 cup vinegar, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 tsp salt in small saucepan. Dissolve 2 tbsp cornstarch in 2 tbsp water; stir into pineapple mixture. cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and transparent.
