Ingredients

For the Meatballs:

1 pound ground veal
1 large egg
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (gluten free: Use GF breadcrumbs)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried parsley

For the Kabobs:

1 fresh, ripe pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large yellow onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

For the Sweet & Sour Sauce:

2/3 cup low sugar apricot, peach or orange marmalade
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

To make the sweet & sour sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients, except for the cornstarch, in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Set aside until ready to use.
To make the meatballs, thoroughly combine all the meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl and form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Yields about 24 meatballs.
Alternately thread six bamboo or metal skewers with the meatballs (4 on each skewer), pineapple and vegetables. Brush with about half of the sweet & sour sauce.
Heat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with some oil. Grill the kabobs about 5-6 minutes on each side or until lightly seared and the meatballs are cooked through.
Brush the kabobs with remaining sweet and sour sauce and serve immediately.
