This Instant Pot cranberry sauce is a blend of fresh cranberries, sugar, orange and spices, all simmered together in a pressure cooker to make a sweet and tangy condiment. A quick and easy recipe that takes minutes to make and produces perfect results every time!
Place the cranberries, water, orange juice, orange peel, sugar and cinnamon in an Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
Seal the pot and cook on manual high pressure for 3 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the pressure.
Unseal the pot, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Remove the orange peel and discard. Let the sauce sit for at least 15 minutes to thicken up. The sauce will continue to get thicker as it cools. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later use.
Notes
Frozen cranberries will work fine, and they do not need to be thawed first.
I recommend using freshly squeezed orange juice if possible.
