Cooking Directions

  1. Pour water into the steel basin of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Place the ham, sliced side-down, into the pot.

  2. Mix brown sugar, honey, mustard, Worcestershire, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves together in a bowl. Pour glaze on top of the ham. Close and lock the lid.

  3. Select high pressure according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  4. Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions for 10 minutes. Release any remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  5. Drain liquid from the pot into a bowl and set aside. Allow ham to rest for at least 10 minutes; remove to a platter.

  6. Select Saute function and add the liquid back into the pot. Cook until reduced to your liking, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sweet sauce on top of ham slices when serving.

Cook’s Notes:

You can use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar if you like.

A 6 1/2 pound ham should fit in a 6-quart pot, but if yours is slightly larger then you may need to cut the ham to make it fit. Place both pieces into the pot at the same time, if possible.
