Ingredients

8 pound Ham Bone-in, spiral sliced
½ cup butter melted-salted
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup maple syrup
½ cup pecan chopped
1 cup chicken broth can use orange juice or water instead

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and chopped pecans together.
Remove ham from packaging and place in a silicone or mesh steamer basket if you have one. If not, that’s ok but it will be a little trickier to get the ham in and out of the Instant Pot.
If you are not using a steamer basket, place a trivet into the Instant Pot.
Pour liquid of choice, either water, chicken broth or orange juice into Instant Pot
Lower the ham into Instant Pot either using the steamer handles or with your hands if you are not using a steamer basket.
Gently separate the slices of ham and spread the glaze that you just made onto the top of the ham, making sure to get some in between the slices.
Close the Instant Pot lid and make sure the valve is sealed. Pressure cook according to the weight of your ham. This is for BONE IN SPIRAL SLICED ham. If you are making a boneless ham or an uncut ham, the cook time may vary. Boneless ham will need less cook time and bone in uncut ham will need to pressure cook for twice as long as the spiral sliced ham. See chart in post regarding pressure cook times.
Once you have naturally released the pressure according to the weight of your ham, quick release any remaining pressure. There may not be any and that’s ok. If you have a broiling lid for your Instant Pot, place the broiling lid on and broil at 400 degrees for 4-5 minutes. If you do not have a broiling lid, you can place the ham in an oven safe pan and broil at 400 degrees for 4-5 minutes. Broiling is optional.
