Ingredients
SERVES 4 to 10, depending on size of ham and side dishes – Cooker: 6- to 8-quart – Time: Depending on size, 11 or 15 minutes at HIGH pressure
- 1 to 1½ cups ginger ale, beer, or sparkling apple cider, as needed
- 1/3 cup sweet-hot honey mustard or honey Dijon mustard (we like the Pommery brand)
- ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- pinch ground cloves.
- 1 (2½- to 4-pound) boneless fully cooked ham
Method
- In a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker, place a trivet and steamer rack
- Pour in the ginger ale
- The liquid should just come up to the bottom of the rack
- In a small bowl, whisk the mustard, brown sugar, and cloves together and spoon or spread with a pastry brush over the surface of the ham
- Place the ham in a steamer basket, fat side up, and set the basket in the pot, making sure it does not exceed the two thirds full level
- Close and lock the lid
- Set the burner heat to high
- When the cooker reaches HIGH pressure, reduce the burner heat as low as you can and still maintain HIGH pressure
- Set a timer to cook for 11 minutes for a small ham (2½ to 3 pounds) and 15 minutes for a larger ham
- Remove the pot from the heat
- Open the cooker with the Natural Release method; let stand for 15 minutes
- Be careful of the steam as you remove the lid
- Transfer the ham to a platter
- Do not use sharp utensils, like a meat fork, to pierce the ham when trying to turn or lift it because the juices will escape
- You can finish the ham off under the broiler for a minute or two to brown the top if you like
- Cover with aluminum foil until ready to serve, at least 15 minutes
- Slice the ham with a long, thin knife, and serve hot
- Let the leftovers come to room temperature, then wrap tightly and refrigerate; it will keep up to 5 days
- You can also freeze any leftovers up to 2 months
