Instant pot cranberry sauce recipe.

Have you ever made cranberry sauce from scratch? This was my grandma’s specialty when I was growing up. We didn’t just have cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving and Christmas either. My grandma would buy enough in the fall to eat cranberry sauce all year long. She used to make hers on the stovetop. It was easy but time-consuming as you had to stand there and watch and stir and make sure it didn’t burn. I am pretty sure my grandma would be proud of this cranberry sauce recipe altered just enough to make it in my Instant Pot. Affiliate link below.
