    Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce

    Check out our newest recipe for Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce.  I can hardly believe it, but it's already the middle of November and just a couple of weeks away from the start of the holiday season!  It definitely doesn't feel like Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks, but it is!   

    cranberry sauce

    Our family tradition for Thanksgiving consists of the family getting together at my parent's house for Thanksgiving dinner.  We have almost the exact same meal every year.  🙂  The most important part of the meal is the turkey and then all of the sides that go with it.  You can't have turkey without cranberry sauce!  While my sister prefers the canned version, I can't have my turkey without a fresh, whole berry, cranberry sauce.

    Tips for making Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce:

    1.  Can I freeze leftover cranberry sauce?

    Yes!  You sure can!  If you have any leftover cranberry sauce or decide to make cranberry sauce ahead of time, simply chill it and pour it into an air-tight container or a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. 

    2.  Can I double the recipe?

    Yes, you sure can!  I did.  🙂  Just double all of the ingredients but keep the pressure cook and pressure release time the same.

    3.  Can I make the cranberry sauce a thicker or thinner consistency?

    Yes!  If the cranberry sauce is too thick, simply add more orange juice or water after it has been cooked but before you have chilled it.  If the cranberry sauce is too thin, turn the Instant Pot on saute after it has cooked and saute on high and stir constantly until you have achieved your desired consistency.

    4.  If you are using pre-packaged, bagged cranberries, be sure to wash and look through the cranberries to make sure there are no stems.
