Hambone Soup with Braised Pineapple and Hickory Smoked Ham

Pineapple and Ham go really well together, DUH. Ok maybe a little better herein than that canadian bacon and pineapple pizza you turn your nose up at. After Easter we had a leftover hambone so time for some soup. Used the pressure cooker to render a broth incoporating cloves, celery and carrots. The pineapple was braised with cinnamon sticks and star anise and enough water to partially coat. The hickory smoked ham was obtained inauspiciously from the local superstore grocery megamarket.
