By

  • 8

Ingredients

  • The raisins will get soft and cook into the sauce. If you want them to
  • remain firmer, wait to add them when you go plate the ham.
  • 1 - 4 lb ready to eat ham
  • 1 large sweet onion, peeled and sliced
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 - 14 oz can pineapple chunks (reserve juice)
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Add the ham and sliced onions to the pressure cooker. Stir together the
cloves, ginger, cinnamon, pineapple juice (reserved from the pineapple
chunks), brown sugar and raisins. Pour over the ham.

Lock the lid into place. Bring to LOW pressure, then maintain pressure
for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to release pressure
naturally.

Move the ham to a serving platter and keep warm while you make the sauce.

Skim and remove any fat from the pan juices in the pressure cooker. Put
the pan over medium heat and simmer to reduce the pan juices to about a
cup. Stir in the pineapple chunks, apple butter, maple syrup and
balsamic vinegar. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary, adding
additional maple syrup if you want a sweeter sauce or more vinegar if
you want to cut the sweetness. Serve separately to spoon or pour over
ham slices.
