  5. When the time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for 15 minutes, then do a quick release. Check the temperature of the ham. It should register around 140 F or higher. Even though it is fully cooked, the flavor is best when it’s cooked to at least 140 F.

  6. Strain the juices into a fat separator. Pour the defatted juices and solids back into the Instant Pot and set it to sauté. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes to reduce the mixture and concentrate the flavors. Spoon over the ham. If desired, place the ham in a foil-lined baking pan, spoon the glaze over it, and bake at 425 F for 15 to 20 minutes to set the glaze.
