Polynesian Glazed Meatballs

I was looking for something to make with my Chicken Meatballs that I got from Costco the other day. I was surfing Kraftfoods.com and ran across this and it looked yummy... Guess what, IT WAS!!! My husband loved it and it was so easy and quick to make. Great for weeknight cooking! I think the Chicken Meatballs made the dish so yummy... Enjoy!

2 cans (8 oz. each) pineapple chunks, drained, liquid reserved
12 oz. (3/4 of 1-lb. pkg.) frozen cooked meatballs (I used chicken meatballs from Costco)
