Get out a bowl, add the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, salt, and pepper.  Mix well.  Shape into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, set aside.  Get out a heavy skillet, add the butter.  When the butter melts start adding the meatball, do not crowd.  Brown, the meatballs on all sides, remove from the skillet drain on a wire rack.  Add the pineapple juice from the tidbits to the skillet along with the cornstarch, vinegar, ketchup, stir together until the mixture thickens.
