How to Make Brown Sugar Holiday Ham in an Instant Pot
Aunt Lou here.
We absolutely love Cris’ Crock Pot Brown Sugar Holiday Ham. So you know I had to give it a try in my electric pressure cooker! I have made this a couple of times. The first time I made it, my mother-in-law was up. She absolutely raved about it and couldn’t believe how wonderful the flavor was! I bet you will feel the same way. And, bonus, it is super quick in your electric pressure cooker!!!
Notes on Instant Pot Brown Sugar Holiday Ham
- If your ham is too big for your electric pressure cooker, I can help! Cut off the part that doesn’t fit and set aside, cook your ham per the recipe. Take your ham out of your instant pot and set aside. Put your cut off portion in the Instant Pot with the cooking juices and cook on high pressure for 8-10 minutes (depending on how much you have extra). Then add your original ham back in with the juices! Easy enough!
- This recipe can be made in any 6 quart electric pressure cooker including: Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi and Crock Pot Express.

- If you would prefer to use a slow cooker, you can use our Crock Pot Brown Sugar Holiday Ham instead.
- Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Hello, love your recipes for the instant pot.
On this ham recipe the recipe calls for a 6qt IP.
I have an 8qt IP. Are the directions and amounts different for an 8 qt? Especially the liquids.
Thank you much

Hi MaryAnn!
I made this in a 6-quart Instant Pot. However, I believe the recipe should have enough liquid in it to work in an 8-quart. You know your Instant Pot best though, so adjust the recipe to how your Instant Pot works, if needed. Enjoy!
