Tips:

  • Use a 3-quart or larger Instant Pot: A smaller pot may not be able to accommodate all of the ingredients.
  • Rinse the cranberries thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • You can use frozen or fresh cranberries: If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before cooking.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce: Overcooked sauce will be too thick and syrupy.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
