Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3-6 lbs ham (depending on number of people)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp bourbon (can be omitted)
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks and their juice
  • 1/8 tsp ground clove
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Slice ham 3/4 of the way through and place on foil
  • Combine brown sugar, maple syrup, and bourbon in a bowl. Mix and break up any clumps of brown sugar. Add garlic, cloves, cinnamon, and pepper. Stir in the pineapple chunks and juice until everything is combined.
  • Pour the glaze over the ham, ensuring it goes between slices, and wrap ham in foil.
  • Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot, and place trivet in bottom. Place wrapped ham on top of the trivet (use silicone sling if necessary).
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot, turn the knob to Sealing, and set to High Pressure for 15 minutes
  • When the time is up, do a quick release. When pressure is vented, remove the ham packet, and dump the water from the pot.
  • Transfer the glaze and pineapple to the pot, and turn on the Saute function. Wrap the ham in the foil to keep warm. Cook the glaze until it reduced and thicken to a more syrup-like consistency.
  • Slice the ham the remainder of the way through, and pour over the glaze.
