Ingredients
 

  • 7 - 8 pound spiral cut half ham, you will see on the label that these hams are fully cooked at the time of purchase. May substitute a half ham that isn't spiral-cut, as well
  • 1 cup orange juice May substitute apple or cranberry juice
  • 12 oz. jar orange marmalade May substitute apricot jam or apple jelly
  • 8 oz. pure maple syrup May substitute honey

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan or skillet over low heat, warm the marmalade and syrup together, stirring to combine well; keep the sauce warm.
  • Remove all packaging material from the ham, discarding any glaze packet that may be included inside the ham packaging.
  • Place the ham, cut-side down (flat-side-down), onto the center of a wide foil sling. (Make the sling by taking a long sheet of heavy-duty foil, folding it lengthwise into thirds.) 
  • Place a trivet into the bottom of an 8-quart Instant Pot; add the orange juice to the Instant Pot.
  • Using the foil sling, lower the ham down into the Instant pot, placing it onto the trivet.  Fold the ends of the foil sling over the top of the ham.
  • Lock the Instant Pot lid into place. Using the manual button, choose the high pressure setting for a cooking time of 12 minutes, bringing the Instant Pot to full pressure.
  • When the timer sounds, use a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then a quick release to remove any remaining pressure that may remain inside the Instant Pot.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Carefully unlock and remove the Instant Pot lid. Using the foil sling, carefully lift the ham out of the Instant pot to a shallow roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet.
  • Use a silicone basting brush to brush the prepared sauce all over the ham, applying a bit of pressure to get the sauce down into all the nooks and crannies of the exterior of the ham.
  • Place the ham, uncovered, into the oven. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the exterior of the ham is caramelized and bubbly all over.
  • Serve the sliced ham with additional marmalade sauce on the side, as desired.
