For a deeper smoky flavor, consider using smoked ham. If you don't have dark brown sugar, light brown sugar works well too. Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your desired level of sweetness. The natural pressure release is important for a more tender ham. If you're short on time, you can do a partial natural release (15-20 minutes) followed by a careful quick release, but the ham may be slightly less tender. Leftover glazed ham is fantastic in sandwiches, salads, or omelets.
