Ingredients to Bring the Flavor
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delightful dish:
- 12 oz fresh cranberries, rinsed

- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, if you like that extra kick)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Let’s Get Cookin’!
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s jump into the steps:
- Begin by rinsing your fresh cranberries under cold water. Pick through them and remove any that look bad. We want only the best in our sauce!
- In your Instant Pot, combine the rinsed cranberries, sugar, water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir it all together so that the cranberries are well coated with the sugar and spices.
- Close the lid of your Instant Pot and set the valve to the sealing position. Select the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” setting, and set the timer for 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to release any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and give your cranberry sauce a good stir. If you prefer a chunkier texture, feel free to leave it as is; for a smoother sauce, you can use a potato masher or immersion blender to blend it to your desired consistency.
- Let the sauce cool to room temperature before transferring it to a serving dish or airtight container. It will thicken as it cools.
And there you have it! A quick and easy Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce that’s bursting with flavor. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or just whenever you want a little something special. Enjoy it alongside turkey, chicken, or even on a biscuit. Trust me; your taste buds will thank you!
