This recipe uses basic six-ingredients. You get that fresh flavor that will make it stand out. I use this cranberry sauce when I make rotisserie chicken or even oven baked pork chops. It pairs well, and you don’t have to box it in for only the holiday season.
Cranberry sauce comes typically in a can, or you simmer it on the stove for hours. This Instant Pot recipe speeds up the process so you can have that homemade cranberry sauce taste with minimal effort or time put into it. Then just wipe out your Instant Pot and start working on other dishes to serve up. Toss this sauce in the fridge and chill until ready to serve.
Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce
I know there is a lot of sugar in this recipe. I made sure to add enough sugar to help counteract the sour taste from the cranberries. If you were to bite into a cranberry you would taste that exact sour flavor you want to get rid of. The sugar is needed to help sweeten and lower the tart and sour factor. It is the perfect amount of sweetness and works well. So don’t shy away, the sugar is a must.
Are Cranberries A Superfood?
Cranberries are considered a superfood, and that is why they are great to incorporate into your diet all year round. From dried cranberries to topping your proteins, or sprinkling in oats, you will gain a lot of benefits from these deep red gems. Cranberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and even fiber. These little berries outrank almost all other fruits in vegetables in carrying the most disease-fighting antioxidants (grapes, apples, cherries, broccoli, spinach, strawberries).
