This did not work. I had to put it back in the pot for another 9 minutes.
Winona Rogers says
Hi Tami, it all depends on the size ham you use, and also whether or not it was boneless.
Elizabeth Foster says
What can you use in place of pineapple chunks not a fan?
Winona Rogers says
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for stopping by. You could use papaya, guava, or mangos if you prefer not to use pineapple chunks. Enjoy!
Beth says

What size ham did you use? I have a 1.5 lb id like to use. Wondering how long I should cook for?
Winona Rogers says
Although I used a quarter size ham for this particular recipe, I suggest using a half size ham as long as it fits into your IP. I have the 6 quart IP. I would adjust the time by 1-2 more minutes.
Donna Loewen says
Can I use crushed pineapple…I don’t have chunks.
Winona Rogers says
I don’t see why you couldn’t? Winona
