This Instant Pot ham recipe imparts amazing flavor to the meat, not just the glaze. It's a little sweet but very savory and on the table in about 30 minutes!
Why This Recipe Works
- Using an Instant Pot can significantly reduce the cooking time without sacrificing flavor.
- The combination of chicken stock, apple juice, Worcestershire sauce, and spices infuses the ham with an unforgettable flavor.
- By cutting the ham into large chunks, the ham cooks more evenly and absorbs maximum flavor throughout.
- This ham has flavor throughout the meat, unlike traditional ham recipes, which have flavor mainly in the glaze.

Question : Easter ham recipe. There is 3 different cooking time on your recipe. Title says... Easter ham in IP in only 30 minutes. Instructions says Set Manual time for 10 minutes at high pressure... then Prep time 5 minutes, cook time 40 min total time 45 minutes So it s 30, 10 or 40 minutes at High Pressure ???
Chef Gary
10 minutes at high pressure. The cook time takes into account coming up to pressure and natural pressure release.
