What's in this mush?

Have you ever taken the time to read the ingredients on a jar of baby food? Yesterday while out to dinner, my wife pulled out a jar of what on the front label claimed to be ham, pineapple, and rice. Odd combination in my mind, and apparently in the mind of both my wife and her parents also at dinner with us. So we read the ingredients. Apples, water, ham...wait, what? Apples? Further down the list we found peach puree. What do apples and peach puree have to do with ham, pineapple, and rice? One could only assume that the original combination was just as odd as I thought, and perhaps was a bit nasty tasting. At any rate it was interesting to discover that the largest ingredient was not even listed on the front label.
