Don’t think you like cranberry sauce? You MUST try this!
Only EVER had canned cranberry sauce? You definitely MUST try this!
Confession… I used to HATE cranberry sauce.
2nd confession… when I say I used to HATE cranberry sauce, it’s kind of fabricated because the truth is I had always REFUSED to try cranberry sauce.
3rd confession… I eat this Instant Pot Cranberry sauce for days. It is so good on toast like jam, over ice cream as a topping, on pancakes and waffles, or just by the spoon full.

Pin this recipe for later!
As a child, growing up, we ALWAYS had the canned stuff. I apologize if you like canned cranberry sauce, because I don’t mean to offend you I swear but the stuff disgusts me. Something about it being so gelatinous that you can cut it into circles… and the marks on the circles that result from it being in that can. I just can’t…
Let’s get on to the good stuff…

- 4 small-medium sweet potatoes cleaned

Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce
Serve in a variety of ways… Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce is so not limited to your turkey dinner. Try it on sandwiches, or pork chops, or fried chicken. If you’re like me, as I admitted earlier, you might want to try this over vanilla ice cream… I’ve also had it on peanut butter toast, on english muffins over cream cheese, pancakes, waffles, toast, crepes, oatmeal, yogurt…
