This recipe for Instant Pot Honey Baked Ham is the best way to serve a moist & flavorful ham for the holidays! Warms quickly & easily!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3-4 pound spiral sliced ham (precooked)
  • ¼½ cup juice (pineapple, orange juice concentrate, or apple juice)
  • ⅓ cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Place your trivet in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Pour in 1 ½ cups of water.
  2. Prepare your glaze in a small bowl by mixing together your juice, natural sweetener, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Set aside.
  3. Set your ham on a large piece of regular aluminum foil (Not heavy duty aluminum foil. You will need to add 5-10 minutes cook time if you use heavy duty foil).
  4. Fold the sides of the foil up around the ham, creating a bowl-like shape around your ham. Gently separate the ham slices so you can see in between them. Pour your prepared glaze all over the ham so it runs down in between the slices of ham. Close the foil over and around your ham.
  5. Carefully place your foil wrapped ham on top of the trivet inside your Instant Pot. Secure lid and manually cook on High Pressure for 18 minutes (for a 4 pound ham). Remember to add 5-10 minutes if you’re using heavy duty foil.
  6. When your timer goes off, you can use either a natural pressure release, or a quick pressure release. Once the pressure is released completely, carefully remove your lid.
  7. Be extra careful of the steam that will be trapped inside the foil when you unfold it. Temp check with a meat thermometer to be sure that your ham has reached 145 degrees. Once the foil has cooled enough to touch, remove the ham from the Instant Pot onto a platter for serving.

Notes

The cook time depends of the size of your ham. Use this guide to determine your cook time if you are using a ham larger than 3-4 pounds.

  • 5 pound ham -cook for 20 minutes (you might want to make extra glaze).
  • 6 pound ham -cook for 22 minutes (you’d probably want to double your glaze).
  • 7 pound ham -cook for 24 minutes (double your glaze).
  • 8 pound ham -cook for 26 minutes (double your gaze).
