Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup orange juice
  • 1-2 tsp orange zest
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 12 oz package cranberries rinsed
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  • Add orange juice, orange zest, sugar, cranberries, cinnamon and nutmeg into an Instant Pot. Stir and place the cover on the pot and set timer to 2 minutes on high pressure (pressure cook setting). It will take the IP around 10 minutes to build up pressure before it begins cooking.
  • When cooking time is done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Release the remaining pressure, remove the cover and give mixture a stir. Allow it to cool completely.
  • Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Replace fresh cranberries with frozen cranberries, if desired.
  • This side dish is 100% gluten free, wooo!
  • For extra flavor, consider adding 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar or a couple vanilla beans to the mixture before boiling.
    When storing homemade cranberries, press plastic wrap directly onto its surface before refrigerating. This will prevent a film from forming on the surface and it will keep the sauce fresh.
  • Add 2 cinnamon sticks to the pot before cooking for an extra punch of cinnamon flavor!
  • The mixture will thicken as it cools, so do not be alarmed if it is on the runny side just after cooking.
