Instant Pot cranberry sauce

Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce With Three Texas Twists

No matter which version you choose—margarita, chipotle, or grapefruit—it’s delightfully easy to make.
Servings 2 cups

Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients  

Cranberry sauce base

  • 12 ounces cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 pinch salt

For margarita cranberry sauce

  • ¼ cup 100 percent agave tequila
  • ½ teaspoon lime zest

For chipotle cranberry sauce

  • 1 3.7-ounce can chipotle in adobo, finely chopped (This makes for a pretty spicy sauce; adjust to taste.)

For grapefruit cranberry sauce

  • ¼ cup grapefruit juice
  • 1 teaspoon grapefruit zest

Directions 

  • Combine all ingredients in the Instant Pot, stir, and set to high pressure for 2 minutes.
  • Let the pressure come down naturally for 15 minutes and then release the pressure fully, or else let the pressure come down naturally all the way.
  • Chill before serving; the sauce will thicken slightly when chilled.
  • This can be made ahead and frozen for a few weeks before serving, if you like.
