Marinade Mixture:
¼ cup apple cider
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. coarse ground mustard
1 Tbsp. pure honey

Brown Sugar Honey Ham:
3 lb boneless fully-cooked spiral-sliced ham
½ cup apple cider

To Finish:
¼ cup apple cider

1 Tbsp. pure honey
1/3 cup brown sugar

In a small bowl, mix Marinade Mixture ingredients until combined.

Place the ham in a shallow pan and pour marinade over the ham, including between the slices.

Pour ½ cup apple cider in the Instant Pot, followed by the ham. Pour any leftover marinade over the ham.

Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.

Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 8 minutes.

When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release (about 15 minutes).

Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat foil with nonstick spray. Carefully move the ham to the baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup apple cider, 1 Tbsp. mustard and 1 Tbsp. honey and brush over the ham.

Pack remaining ½ cup brown sugar over the top of the ham.

Set the ham under a broiler until the glaze is caramelized and bubbly, 5-10 minutes.

Makes 6-8 servings.
