Waikiki Meat Balls- Recipe Box #26

Here's an AWESOME extra long box that came from Louisburg, Kansas on December 9th, 2010, via eBay:

It dates to the 70's, based on the dates on some of the clippings, and this AWESOME ad for a record club on the back of a clipped recipe.  You have the option of making your purchase in vinyl, 8-track, cassette, or 7-inch reel...I don't even remember the 7-inch reel format!

Here's the ad:

The box also includes directions for making a Water Proofing solution:

There are many delicious, hand-written recipes, but I thought the "Waikikkii" Meatballs looked especially tempting.  Here's the card:

Here's the recipe, attributed to Judy L.:

"Waikikkii" Meat Balls

1 1/2 # ground beef

2/3 cup cracker crumbs

1/2 cup minced onion

1 egg

1 1/2 ts. salt

1/4 ts. ginger

1/4 cup milk

Mix and make into walnut size (meatballs).

1 T. shortening

2 T. cornstarch

1 #13 1/z oz. can pineapple tidbits drained - save sirup

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup vinegar

1 T. soy sauce

1/3 cup chopped green pepper

Brown meatballs - set aside.  Make sauce & put all together several hours before serving.

The recipe doesn't say what to do after assembling, but I'm assuming they get placed in a crock pot or chafing dish to stay hot.  I'll leave that up to you to decide!

Enjoy!
