Instant Pot Maple Glazed Ham is unique, easy, and delicious and will have all your guests swooning with curiosity.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Ham

  • 4 – 5 pound ready to eat ham, AKA vacuum packed, boneless ham (Black Forest ham is my favorite) see notes
  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 2 cups of apple cider (or apple juice if you can’t find apple cider)
  • 2 cups water

For the Maple Dijon Glaze

  • ½ cup maple syrup (or honey if preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • Turbinado sugar, if using

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Cut ham into 1 pound pieces.  Trim off tough skin if desired.  
  2. Nestle the ham into the bottom of the pot.
  3. Pour vinegar, apple cider, and water over the ham.
  4. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 35 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by whisking together the maple syrup and dijon mustard.  Set aside.
  6. When pressure cooking is complete, use a natural release.  This will keep the ham moist and tender.
  7. Place ham on a cutting board and shred into large bite size pieces.  Place inside a 9×13 baking dish. 
  8. Preheat the oven broiler.
  9. Brush the Maple Mustard glaze over the ham and sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar if using (turbinado will caramelize and add a crunchy, sweet bite to the top layer of ham).
  10. Place under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes until the glaze bubbles a bit, the tips of the ham start to char and crisp, and the turbinado sugar caramelizes.
  11. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Notes

  • The ham can be made ahead of time if needed.   Brush the cooked ham with the maple mustard glaze, cover with foil and store in the refrigerator for a day or two.  When you’re ready to serve it, place in a 350°F oven for 30-45 minutes until warmed through. Remove the foil, sprinkle with turbinado sugar if using, and finish it with 3-4 minutes under the oven broiler.
  • I don’t suggest using a spiral cut ham, it will likely dry out in the pressure cooker.  I suspect a bone in cooked ham would work great. I’ve never tried this recipe with an uncooked ham.
  • If you’re not a fan of maple syrup, honey tastes amazing in the glaze as well.
