  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: 10 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 10ounce bag frozen cranberries
  • 1/3 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice (from about 1 large orange)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine the cranberries, orange juice, and maple syrup in the base of a 6-quart pressure cooker.
  2. Set the time to high pressure for 4 minutes.
  3. Then, when the cooking time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes and then use the quick-release to release any remaining pressure.
  4. Carefully remove the lid and transfer the sauce to a serving bowl.

Notes

  1. If you want a stronger orange flavor, zest the orange before you use it and add the zest to the pot with the other ingredients.
  2. If you don’t have orange juice, you can also use apple juice.
  3. You can make this recipe in a slow cooker as well. Cook the ingredients on high for 4-6 hours.
  4. If you want a smoother texture, you can use a potato masher or an immersion blender to reach the desired consistency.
  5. Serve hot or cold. The cranberry sauce will thicken in the refrigerator.
  6. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to a week.
