I am not assigning stars until I prepare this recipe again as I had problems. The biggest problem was me not throughly reading the recipe so feel free to giggle. I jumped in and the mistakes altered the recipe. The first thing is one should use COOKED rice & the recipe plainly states that fact. I failed to take note of that important information and added 1 cup of UNcooked rice. At the end of the cooking time I had crunchy rice and beautifully glazed meatballs. The crunchy had to go so I added water and continued baking. The rice finally cooked, but the lovely sauce was almost totally gone and the balls were much more rice than meat. I am only posting my experience so hopefully no one else makes the same mistake. I do plan to try the recipe again & will update when I do. Made for ZWT7 and apparently my hubby's amusement.

This is a very tasty meatball appetizer dish -- really liked the sauce and the idea of the pineapple. My ground beef was extra lean, but there was a bit of liquid during the cooking process so I drained it off and then added extra sauce and baked a few minutes longer. These meatballs were gone in no time! Made for ZWT9-Caribbean, July, 2013.
