Sweet-Hot Sausage Meatballs

2 8-Ounce Cans Water Chestnuts,	1/4 Cup Cornstarch
-Drained	1 Cup Maple Syrup
1 Pound Bulk Pork Sausage	2/3 Cup Cider Or Red Wine Vinegar
1 Pound Bulk Hot Pork Sausage	1/4 Cup Soy Sauce

Mince water chestnuts. Add pork sausage. Mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place into ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. (I use my jelly pan lined with foil.) Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.

In a sauce pan, combine cornstarch, maple syrup, vinegar and soy sauce. Stir until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened. Drain meat balls and add sauce. Heat through. Makes 12-14 servings.

* I usually cut this recipe in half. Also, if you feel the sauce is too thick, add a little water.
