Instructions
Make sure your ham will fit in your air fryer including checking to make sure it doesn't hit the heating element in the top. Trim it to fit if necessary.
2-3 pound boneless sliced ham
If the ham is not sliced slice it into 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch slices.
Wrap the ham completely in aluminum foil. Make sure you can easily peel back the foil to add the glaze later.
Set the air fryer at 300 degrees F for 30 minutes and cook the ham. See note below for adjusting time for a smaller/larger ham.
While the ham cooks make the glaze. Combine your chosen ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the ham cooking time is up. Add more water to the glaze if it thickens too fast.
1 cup frozen mango, 1/4 cup water, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 cup fresh pineapple, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon butter
Peel back the foil. Use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ham. It needs to reach 165 degrees F before serving. Brush 1/4 of the glaze on the ham and close the foil back up.
If the ham was at 160 degrees F or higher cook it at 300 degrees F for another 10 minutes. If it was lower than that add more cooking time.
Once the cooking time is up check the ham's temperature again. If it is at 165 degrees F peel back the foil again and brush another quarter of the glaze over the top. Cook it, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. This will caramelize the glaze and brown the edges of the ham.
Serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
Notes
Size
My 5.8 quart air fryer will easily fit a 3 pound ham. If you have a smaller air fryer you might need a smaller ham.
Cooking Time
As a general rule of thumb it will take 10 minutes per pound of ham. Use this time for your initial cooking time in step #4 if your ham is larger or smaller than 3 pounds.
Glaze
You can substitute any glaze you like on this ham, either your own recipe or a packet that came with the ham. Peaches work well in place of the mango and you can use fresh fruit instead of frozen if you have it.
