Ingredients
- 1 bag (12 oz) fresh or frozen cranberries
- ½ Cup water
- 1 Cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 Navel orange sliced
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the cranberries, then add them to the instant pot.
- Cut the orange into slices about ¼ inch thick.
- Add the ½ cup of water, cranberries, ½ cup of sugar, 3-4 orange slices and the cinnamon stick to the pot.
- Close the lid, turn the valve to seal and set to high pressure for 1 minute.
- When the timer has completed allow the pot to naturally release for 5 minutes, then turn the valve to release the remaining pressure.
- When the pressure has been released, remove the lid, remove the orange slices and cinnamon stick, press cancel and then press sauté (normal).
- Add the remaining sugar, if you like your cranberries less sweet only add ¼ cup.
- While stirring, bring the cranberries to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, being sure to keep stirring so they don’t burn, then press cancel and remove the inner liner from the pot.
- The cranberries should have thickened up and the sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
- You can allow the sauce to cool in the pot or move to a bowl or storage container. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes
- Tips:
- Skip the depressurization after cooking the cranberry sauce. That extra five minutes gives the perfect texture.
- Adjust how thick your cranberry sauce is by boiling it more or less at the end.
