List of Ingredients
1 beaten egg
1 cup bran flakes cereal
1/3 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 pound ground fully cooked ham
1 15-1/4 ounce can pineapple chunks (juice pack)
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup fresh or frozen pea pods, thawed Recipe
In a large mixing bowl combine egg, bran flakes, milk, and ginger. Let stand 5 minutes. Add meat and mix well. Shape into 24 meatballs.
Arrange meatballs in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes. Spoon off fat.
Meanwhile, for sauce, drain pineapple, reserving juice. Set both aside. In a large saucepan cook carrots in chicken broth, covered, for 5 minutes or just until tender. Do not drain.
Combine vinegar, cornstarch, honey, and soy sauce. Stir into carrot mixture. Stir in reserved pineapple juice. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in pea pods and cook 2 minutes more. Stir in pineapple; heat through. Gently stir in meatballs to coat with sauce. Makes 6 servings.
