How to make Cranberry Sauce in the Instant Pot

Now all that’s left to do is remove the cinnamon stick and discard, add the remaining ingredients and blend. Once blended, taste and adjust the honey and salt to your desired tastes.

Serve or store in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
