Fantastic Sweet and Sour Barbecue Meatballs

These are from our church cookbook, and are incredibly delicious as a main dish served over hot, cooked rice. They also make wonderful sandwiches. The brown sugar amount for the sauce can be adjusted. Lately 2 and 1/4 c of brown sugar has become too sweet for me!
