Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Combine cranberries, dried cherries, water (or chosen liquid), cinnamon, and salt in the inner pot of your Instant Pot. (2 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Select the 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' setting on high pressure and set the timer for 2 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot. (15 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick-release method. (10 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Unlock and carefully remove the lid. Select the 'Saute' function on low heat. Add the orange marmalade and brown sugar to the cranberry mixture. (1 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Cook and stir gently to combine, breaking up the cranberries as they soften, for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce begins to thicken slightly. (3 minutes)

06

Step
30 mins

Turn off the Instant Pot. Let the cranberry sauce cool completely. The sauce will thicken further as it cools. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Transfer the cooled cranberry sauce to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. For the best flavor, allow the sauce to come to room temperature before serving.

For a boozier flavor, substitute some of the water with dark rum or bourbon.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend the cranberry sauce after cooking.
Cranberry sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, or frozen for longer storage. Thaw completely before serving.

    The natural release method is key, using quick release only, the cranberry sauce was too watery!

    I used orange juice instead of water and it was delicious! I'll definitely be making this again.
