Amy’s Instant Pot Honey Mustard Glazed Ham

¾ cup brown sugar, firmly packed

½ cup honey

¼ cup Dijon mustard

½ cup water

10 cloves

10 lbs spiral cut ham (I used less, keeping the glaze amount the same)


In a small saucepan, add the brown sugar, honey, mustard, water and cloves and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat. The glaze should be fragrant from the cloves and mustard.


Place the ham in the instant pot and pour glaze over top.

Place the lid on and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Once the Instant Pot cycle is complete, let the natural pressure release cycle complete, 10-15 minutes.
