Easy Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce
Are you ready to witness a culinary miracle? With an Instant Pot, you can whip up this delectable cranberry sauce in no time! Seriously, it’ll be faster than your relatives’ debates on politics at the dinner table.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces of fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup of sugar (because sweetness makes the world go round)
- 1 cup of water (maybe not as exciting as sugar, but it’s essential!)
- 1 orange (zest and juice; we’re fancy like that)
- A pinch of salt (just a little to keep your taste buds on their toes)
Instructions
- First things first! Rinse those cranberries like they’ve been on a wild adventure. Toss out any that look sad or shriveled – we’re here to make magic, not sadness in a pot.
- Next, in your Instant Pot, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, orange juice, and zest. Give it a gentle stir like you’re trying to awaken the flavors!
- Now, close that Instant Pot lid and seal the vent. Set it to cook on high pressure for about 5 minutes. That’s right, just five! It’s like a power nap for your cranberries.
- Once the timer goes off, let it naturally release pressure for about 10 minutes. This is the perfect time to practice your cranberry sauce bragging rights. Who knew you were such a culinary genius?
- After 10 minutes, carefully release any remaining pressure. Open that lid and prepare to be smacked in the face by the heavenly aroma of cranberry bliss.
- Using a spoon, stir the mixture until it’s combined and a little chunky – just how we like it! If you want it smoother, feel free to mash it up like you’re in a cranberry wrestling match.
- Let it cool for a bit before serving. This sauce will thicken up as it cools, making it the perfect companion to turkey, ham, or even a spoon (no judgment here).
And there you have it! A cranberry sauce so easy, you might just start calling it your “go-to.” Get ready to impress your guests, or just treat yourself because, let’s face it, you deserve it!
