Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the cranberries in a colander and rinse with cold water. You want to discard any damaged cranberries.
- Add the cranberries, sugar, syrup, orange juice, zest, cinnamon stick, nutmeg and salt to Instant Pot.
- Select manual setting and adjust pressure to high. Set time for 4 minutes and then allow the pressure to naturally release.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and mash to desired consistency. Stir in vanilla extract. Let cool to room temperature and transfer to a storage container and place in the fridge until ready to use.
Notes
- You can use all maple syrup or all granulated sugar. No need to use half and half if you don't want to or don't have one of the ingredients.
- Replace the cinnamon stick with ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon if needed.
- If your cranberry sauce is still too bitter, add more maple syrup one tablespoon at a time.
- Cranberry sauce can be served warm or cold.
