Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce With Orange Juice
Instant Pot Cranberry sauce is a great side dish recipe that pairs well with turkey, chicken, and pork. Add this sweet and tart-tasting simple recipe to your Thanksgiving dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) Package Cranberries Frozen or fresh
- ⅓ Cup Orange Juice
- ⅛ Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ Teaspoon Orange Zest
- 1 Cup Sugar
Instructions
-
In the inner pot of your Instant Pot add the frozen cranberries. On top of the cranberries pour the orange juice.
-
Add on top of the cranberries the cinnamon, orange zest, and lastly the sugar. Do not stir.
-
Place the lid onto the Instant Pot and make sure the release valve knob is set to sealing.
-
Press the pressure cook button making sure it says high pressure. Adjust the cooking time to 2 minutes. It will take the Instant Pot a few minutes to come to pressure then start counting down.
-
Once the cooking time is up let sit and do a natural release for 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes turn the release valve knob and release any steam that may still be in the pressure cooker.
-
Remove the lid to the IP and stir the cranberry sauce. Taste the sauce to see if it's sweet enough for you. If not then add about a tablespoon of sugar into the cranberry sauce until you get the desired sweetness and stir.
-
Pour the sauce into a serving dish and chill, the sauce will thicken as it cools down.
