Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas And Ham Food

INSTANT POT BLACK-EYED PEAS AND HAM

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to the Instant Pot, place the lid on and lock it.
• Cook for 30 minutes at high manual pressure. (Note: It will take a little while to come to pressure)
• Allow the pot to release naturally. Mine took about 30 minutes, FYI.
• Salt and pepper to taste. (Note: Mine did not need any salt since the ham and the Better Than Bullion was so salty.)
