Does anyone have an old recipe for sweet and sour meatballs? It's from a long time ago. ?

Question

It used OXO bouillon cubes, pineapple, green peppers, onions, the pineapple juice and ground beef (for the meatballs). It was my mother's recipe she says from about 30 years ago! I've looked on the OXO website and they don't have it. Back then you could find it in magazines. Help if you can! Thanx
