Place all the ingredients into the Instant Pot. Do not stir, as stirring could trigger the burn warning on your Instant Pot.
Seal the Instant Pot and set the pressure to "HIGH" for 8 minutes.
Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for 5 minutes and then release the rest of the pressure. Open the Instant Pot and stir the ingredients together.
Taste the cranberry sauce and if it's a little too tart, add 1 tablespoon of sugar more until it reaches your desired sweetness. Serve warm or cold!
- The cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools. When you open the Instant Pot it might be too watery, but it will thicken.
- Optional add ins would be cinnamon, or a little shot of bourbon!
