Equipment you may need
Ingredients
- 1 4-5-lb boneless spiral sliced ham
- 1-2 12 oz. bottle beer - preferably a spiced holiday ale
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple - with juice
- ½ cup dark brown sugar - plus more for broiling step
- ¼ tsp ground cloves - optional
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Position Instant Pot trivet inside instant pot and place ham on trivet, cut side down and slices facing up.
- In a large bowl, stir together pineapple and juice, mustard, brown sugar, and cloves. Add in beer and stir until well combined.
- Gently separate ham slices and pour pineapple/beer mixture over ham, in between slices.
- Cook on manual pressure on High for 15 minutes, and allow pressure to release naturally.
- Carefully remove ham from instant pot and cover loosely with foil. Turn instant pot to “Sauté” setting.
- In a small bowl, stir together cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water until cornstarch is fully dissolved. Add this slurry to the remaining liquid inside the instant pot and heat, stirring, about 5 minutes until thickened and reduced.
Broiling (Optional)
- Place ham in a broiler-safe baking dish on center oven rack and pour thickened glaze over the top. Sprinkle additional brown sugar on top of glaze, if desired. Position ham on center oven rack.
- Position ham on center oven rack and broil 5-7 minutes or until top of ham is caramelized and browned.
Notes
- Storing Leftovers: To store, you can place your ham, sliced or unsliced, into an airtight container or food storage bag. It will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing Leftovers: You can cut your ham into slices and pop it into a freezer bag, making sure to get some of that juice/glaze in there too to keep it moist! Then, be sure to squeeze out the air from the bag. I also like to add a second bag just to be extra sure it won't absorb any air from the freezer.
