    For the meatballs combine all meatball ingredients, form into walnut-sized balls and brown in skillet or in the oven. Drain excess fat.

    For the sauce, drain the pineapple chunks, reserving 3/4 cup of the juice (if there is not enough, add water to make 3/4 cup).

    Combine juice, 1/2 cup water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan or pot and stir until sugar and cornstarch disolve. Cook over low heat until thick and bubbling, stirring constantly.

    Add green peppers, meatballs, water chestnuts and 1 cup of pineapple chunks. Heat until meatballs are hot, stirring frequently.
