Como fazer Meatballs My Gran's Way

Soak 1/2 cup raisins in 1 cup hot water for 2 hours.
Soak 1/2 cup bread cubes briefly in 1/2 cup milk. Squeeze out excess milk and flake into 1 lb ground meat.
Add 1 large egg to the meat mixture.
Drain the raisins and add them to the meat mixture.
Gently mix all ingredients. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
Brown the meatballs in 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
Transfer the browned meatballs to a large casserole dish.
In a saucepan, combine the reserved raisin soaking liquid (1 cup), 1/2 cup juice from a 20 oz can of pineapple pieces, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded (about 5 minutes).
Mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to form a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce to thicken.
Add the drained pineapple pieces (reserve some for garnish if desired) to the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the casserole dish.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 1/4 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Serve hot over rice. Garnish with reserved pineapple pieces (optional).
