These perfect little meatball poppers are equal parts sweet and sour. Sliced pineapple rings add a pop of color to the finished meatballs skewers and extra sweetness that will keep you coming back for more!

Ingredients
Directions
- Position the oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to broil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat the foil with cooking spray.
- Mix the pork, cilantro, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until just combined. Use a 1-ounce ice-cream scoop to shape the mixture into 24 balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until golden brown and firm, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through broiling.
- Meanwhile, drain the liquid from the can of pineapple into a large skillet (you should have just over 3/4 cup juice). Quarter each of 6 pineapple rings (for a total of 24 pieces) and set aside.
- Add the ketchup, vinegar, honey, soy sauce and a generous amount of pepper to the skillet with the pineapple juice, whisking until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about a quarter and thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the meatballs and toss until well coated.
- Skewer 1 pineapple piece and one meatball with a food pick or toothpick and place on a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining pineapple pieces and meatballs and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Spoon any remaining sauce left in the skillet into a bowl and serve alongside the meatballs.
