Bone-in Ham with green leafy vegetable on a turquoise plate with a silver fork
It is my preference to make a pressure cooker ham that isn't pre-sliced. If you accidentally cook it too long, it will not dry out as much when unsliced. This one has a honey glaze, but feel free to do your own glaze.

    I am wondering how far in advance you can make the cranberry sauce and could it be frozen? By the way, I have made several of your recipes since I discovered your site and have LOVED each one of them! Thank you for having practical and tasty new recipes to try! I am using my Instant Pot more often now!

      Hi Susan! Thank you for the kind words! I have made this cranberry sauce and kept it in the fridge for a few days and it was fine. You can freeze it as well. Use an air-tight container or freezer bags (I double them). It will keep for several months frozen.
