Instant Pot Ham with Pineapple and Brown Sugar
Instant Pot Ham with Pineapple and Brown Sugar is an easy recipe that's perfect for the holidays. It's a great twist on the classic honey baked ham and is made in just one pot.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds Spiral boneless ham
- 20 ounces Pineapple rings, 1 can with juice
- 1 cup Brown sugar, divided
- ½ cup Water
Instructions
- Place the trivet with the handles in an 8 quart instant pot.
- Pour the water into the instant pot.
- Place the ham in the middle of the foil and fold up the sides of the foil to make a bowl for the ham.
- Rub the brown sugar over the ham and pineapple juice over the top making sure that all the ingredients stay in the foil.
- Then place the foil wrapped ham in the instant pot on top of the trivet.
- Seal the instant pot and cook on high pressure for 2 minutes per pound of ham, and add 10 minutes because of the foil.
- Then allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 10 minutes and then do a quick release after this time.
Christina's Notes
- Use a Trivet: Always use a trivet in the Pot if you have one. This prevents the ham from sitting directly in the liquid in the bottom of the instant pot.
- Score the Ham (If Not Spiral-Cut): If you're using a ham that's not spiral-cut, score the surface in a diamond pattern to allow the glaze to penetrate.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: This is the most reliable way to ensure the ham is cooked to the correct temperature.
- Let the Ham Rest: After cooking, carefully remove the ham from the instant pot. Let the ham rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Reserve Glaze: Reserve some of the ham glaze. Brush extra glaze over the ham after it's been sliced.
- Serve this Recipe With: Serve this recipe with Loaded Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, Crockpot Green Bean Casserole and Rosemary Butter Rolls.
