Servings 3 .5 cups

Ingredients
 

  • 24 ounces fresh cranberries two 12 ounce packages
  • ¾ cup apple juice
  • cups sugar or maple syrup/honey/sweetener of choice, adjust to taste

Optional additions (I prefer to leave mine plain):

  • Orange or lemon zest
  • Vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg or cardamom

Instructions
 

  • Rinse cranberries and add them to the pot along with the apple juice (you can set ½ cup cranberries aside if you prefer whole berries in the sauce, otherwise add all of the cranberries to the pot).
  • Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 1 minute at high pressure.
  • Naturally release pressure for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, stir in the sweetener and mash the cranberries with a spoon if needed (if you reserved cranberries at the start, add them now and press sauté to cook them for a couple minutes).
  • Turn off the instant pot and let the sauce cool down in the pot (this will also cook the additional whole cranberries a bit).
  • Taste and add more sugar if needed.
  • Once the sauce is cool, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for a couple months.
