This is one reason I love my Instant Pot®. I can pull a frozen ham from the freezer, put it in the Instant Pot® with just 3 ingredients and, with almost no effort, have dinner on the table.

I'm rather impressed with having a frozen ham into a cooked ham in a short amount of time. I had pineapple rings on hand which worked just perfect. I would recommend more cornstarch for a thicker sauce but that's a preference thing. Would make again and could fit an even bigger ham if needed. Read More

So thankful to find this excellent recipe for a frozen ham. I didn t have pineapple so I added 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar and 1/2 cup water. I also used honey instead of maple syrup. The ham was very tender and delicious. It took about 30 minutes for a natural release but I m sure this time varies according to the ingredients used. Read More
