This was quite nice. I used my electric pressure cooker and since it cooks with less liquid (and in 1/4 or less of the time!), I omitted the water and cut back some on the juice. About 15 minutes before serving, I added the pineapple, left the lid off, turned the pressure cooker to the saute setting and cooked it down a bit. My family all liked it and I'm sure I'll make it again. By the way, I couldn't love my Cuisinart pressure cooker any more! Anything I could make in my crock-pot can be made in my pressure cooker in about 1/4 of the time!
