Instant Pot Holiday Ham Recipes

INSTANT POT® HAM

Steps:

• Place ham on a trivet and set it inside a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour crushed pineapple over ham. Sprinkle brown sugar and drizzle maple syrup on top. Secure the lid with vent closed.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Remove ham and trivet. Cut ham into slices and place on a plate.
• Select Saute setting on the pressure cooker. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Stir mixture into the pot, bring to a boil, and stir until thickened. Pour sauce over the ham.

INSTANT POT HOLIDAY HONEY HAM

Steps:

• Using a great knife, carve the ham into desired-sized slices and set aside
• Make the sauce by mixing the honey, pineapple, brown sugar and ginger ale together in a mixing bowl
• Using stackable pans, pour in a little sauce on the bottom of each pan, layer with the sliced ham and evenly distribute the sauce/pineapples into each pan (If you don't have these pans and wish to use aluminum foil instead, see the "Jeffrey Sez" section of the recipe)
• Place the trivet in the Instant Pot with 1 - 1.5 cups of water. Rest the stacstackable pansable pans on top of the trivet
• Hit "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" High Pressure for 3 minutes per pound (I used 3.5 lbs so I cooked for 10 minutes). Quick release when done
• Using the handle from the stackable pans' caddy, carefully remove from the Instant Pot, uncover the pans and transfer the ham, pineapple and desired sauce to a casserole dish or serving bowl
• Enjoy!
