Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce
Report
A quick hack to homemade cranberry sauce is to use your instant pot. Just place all the ingredients in and let the instant pot do the rest of the work.

Instructions
- ADD THE INGREDIENTS: To the Instant Pot, layer in the following ingredients (without stirring): cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon stick. (The sugar might burn if it gets stuck to the bottom of the pot)
- PRESSURE COOK: Close the lid, making sure that the steam release valve is in the sealing position. Press the PRESSURE COOK (or MANUAL) button and set it for 2 minutes on High Pressure.
- NATURAL RELEASE: Once it is done cooking, let it naturally release pressure for at least 10 minutes. Then, manually release the remaining pressure in short bursts until all the pressure is fully released.
- LET IT CHILL AND SERVE: Once the pin on the lid drops, open the lid and give it a good stir. Taste to see if it needs any more sugar. Then, transfer it to a serving dish and let it chill. It will thicken up once it cools down.

Notes
- The cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools. Make sure to allow it to cool and set up before serving.
- Using short bursts when releasing remaining pressure will help to avoid plenty of splatters.
- It is very important to follow the directions as to what order to add the ingredients. The reason for this is to help avoid the "burn" notice. Sugar on the bottom may burn if added first.
- The cinnamon and orange flavors are wonderful additions, but completely optional.
- If you prefer your cranberry sauce without lumps of cranberry, by all means, blend it with an immersion blender or regular blender before serving.
- Easily double or triple this recipe to serve a larger crowd.
