Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 (4-9) lb Spiral Cut Cooked Ham (pre-cooked, smoked) rinsed
- 2 ⅓ cups Apple Juice or Cider, divided
- 2 cans Apple Pie Filling
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- ¾ tsp Ground Cloves
To Thicken the Sauce
- 3 Tbsp Corn Starch
- ⅓ cup of the Reserved Apple Juice
Instructions
- Rinse off the ham well with cool water and set in the pot. If your ham is small enough you can set it on a long handled trivet.
- Pour 1 cup of the apple juice over the ham. Reserve the remaining cup.
- Mix together the apple pie filling, brown sugar and cloves.
- Spoon the apple pie filling mixture over the ham.
- Place te lid on the pot and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
- Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button or dial to select 3 minutes. High pressure. The pot will take several minutes to come to pressure.
- While ham is cooking, whisk together 1/3 cup of the reserved apple juice with the corn starch to make a slurry. Keep the remaining 1 cup of apple juice for the sauce.
- When the cook time is finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 5 minutes (Natural Release), then turn the steam release knob to Venting and Quick release any remaining steam/pressure.
- When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and use a big spoon and tongs to very carefully remove the ham from the pot to a baking dish or serving platter. If you were able to use the trivet, use the long handles to assist you. Be very careful!
- Spoon out the apple pieces and set aside.
- Use a fat separator to defat the liquid/drippings. Then return 3 cups of the liquid/drippings to the pot. Discard the rest.
- Add in the remaining 1 cup of apple juice.
- Turn on the pot's sauté setting, and when the contents start to simmer, stir in the corn starch slurry and stir until the mixture is thickened.
- Turn off the pot and add the apple slices back in. Transfer the apple pie sauce to a bowl.
- Slice the bone away from the ham and arrange the meat on a serving platter. Serve the ham with the apple pie gravy spooned over the top. Excellent with mashed potatoes!
