Glazed with apricot jam and Dijon mustard, you’ll love the sweet and salty flavors mixed together. This instant pot ham recipe is incredible for SO many reasons.įirst of all, the taste is perfection. That’s why I’ve decided that this year, I’ll be cooking ham in an instant pot! No room in the oven for pies, roasted potatoes cook at a completely different temperature… you know those typical holiday cooking woes. Much like roasting a turkey, baking a ham takes hours which can really cramp your cooking style. One thing I hate about cooking hams though is how much space ( and time) they take up in the oven. In my family however, we are BIG fans of a baked ham with a delicious fruit glaze on nearly every holiday. For others, like the little Who’s down in Whoville, it means a huge roast beef. Like this recipe? Pin it to your MAIN DISH board!įor some families, a holiday meal means a turkey cooked in the oven all day. We typically choose from one of these tried and true 25 Holiday Ham recipes, but this year I’m taking an easier route and making instant pot ham! Topped with a delicious apricot and honey glaze, this ham is cooked and ready in an hour, leaving you plenty of time to celebrate the holiday with your family! Well, in our house the answer is always a delicious ham. With the holidays right around the corner, you may be starting to think about what to cook for your family. Whew! I’m exhausted just typing it! I really need the pressure cooker to rescue me when I do this task! I’m determined to figure it out, but ham is a pretty expensive item to experiment on.Tender, juicy & SUPER easy to make, Instant Pot Ham is the best ham you’ll ever cook! Tangy apricot glaze makes this ham a holiday favorite! (Cooks Illustrated has long instructions, as usual, that involve pre-warming the ham in hot water for 90 minutes putting it in a cooking bag, and heating it in a 250 degree oven until it reaches an internal temp of 100 degrees F glazing it and puttting it back in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes to melt the glaze. Since it is already cooked, you are just warming it up. We find that the ham is very juicy at that temp. But I’m going for a target internal temp of 100 degrees F per Cooks Illustrated instructions (prior to glazing and putting it in the oven for a few minutes to melt the glaze) because the ham is already cooked and you just want to warm it up. I’m going to try it again, but I’ll wrap it in foil per your instructions, Barbara, and make sure I buy a smaller ham. It could have been USER ERROR (my fault) because I overfilled my 8 quart stove top and it took a long time to come up to pressure, so long that I think I actually didn’t need to pressure cook it for any length of time.
#Spiral sliced ham in instant pot Pc
Thank you for this post, Barbara! We recently tried Miss Vickie’s instructions for spiral sliced ham in the PC and ended up ruining an expensive ham because the ham came out overcooked (WAY overcooked). And I guess putting the PC cooked ham under the broiler with glaze will defeat the purpose of PC & dry out the ham? Any suggestions? Love your great recipes & instructions, never fail for us newbs. Barbara, what are your thoughts to convert to PC? I’m thinking popping glaze in a pan in the air fryer or oven to brown. I would think glazing the ham won’t work in the pressure cooker as it would just run off into the foil. Think sticky, gooey, & browned like barbeque ribs, pineapple browned/carmelized like upside down cake. Glaze ham last 1/2 hour of cooking, do not cover with foil.
Cook over med heat, stirring until thickened.Ĥ.
Mix brown sugar, cornstarch, salt in 1 qt panģ.
Goodbye microwave or oven reheating & dried out meats! For anyone else using a plain spiral ham, here is a glaze my Mom always used for a baked ham:Ĩ-1/2 oz crushed pineapple, undrained in syrupġ.
Also reheating other meats in the pressure cooker is a game changer that never occurred to me, duh. Oh my, this one is a keeper! Honey Baked Ham stores are in a galaxy far, far away from where I am, but a precooked spiral would work.
