Spicy meat balls in tomato sauce with pineapples

I’m quite sure, what would my dad say about this recipe: “TASTE UNISON”. For a long period of time I didn’t like any combination called in Czech “a la Hawaii” – included pineapple on Pizza or in combination with meat. Also couple of years ago I would never choose one of the typical meal served in Czech restaurants – called “scallop chicken breast with peach and cheese”. Tastes change – same like allergies or aversions and I did revalue my personal relationship to pineapple… The combination is at present one of my favourite and I would like to present a very nice recipe to you today…

Meat balls:

500g ground pork
500g ground beef
