Instructions

Crushed Pineapple Topping

In a small bowl combine drained crushed pineapple, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginner. Stir well, and set aside.
Lay a large piece of foil on a cutting board, and place ham on top. Cover ham generously on all sides with pork rub. Form a foil "boat" around the ham.
Add rack, and water into the Instant Pot. Place ham inside.
Pour half of the pineapple juice on the ham making sure the liquid stays in the foil boat. Cover the top of the ham with the prepared pineapple topping. Pour remaining pineapple juice over the ham.
Cook on high pressure for a base time of 10-minutes plus 2-minutes for each pound then follow with a 5-minute natural pressure release.
Allow the meat to rest for about 5 minutes after cooking, and then serve immediately.

Notes

Be sure to use the minimum amount of water for your model.

3-Quart Instant Pot - ½ cup
6-Quart Instant Pot - 1 cup
8-Quart Instant Pot - 2 cups

Cooking Time Example:

If you have a 5-pound ham, then you would want to cook on high pressure for 20-minutes followed by the 5-minute natural pressure release. That would be the base time of 10-minutes plus 10-minutes (5 pounds x 2-minutes per pound = 10-minutes) then a 5-minute NPR for a total of 25 minutes.

If you want to get that oven baked look then place under the broiler for 5-10 minutes or in the air fryer at 400-degrees for a few minutes.

Make a foil sling to make removing your Instant Pot Ham easier.
