Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pour 1 cup water into the bottom of your Instant Pot and place the 5-pound bone-in ham on the trivet inside the pot.
  2. Step 2: Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to 'Manual' high pressure for 20 minutes.
  3. Step 3: While the ham cooks, whisk together 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper in a small bowl to create the glaze.
  4. Step 4: When cooking is complete, use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  5. Step 5: Carefully remove the ham and place it on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze evenly over the ham.
  6. Step 6: Broil the ham in the oven on high for 5-7 minutes until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven, brush with the remaining glaze, let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
