Homemade Cranberry Sauce is fast and easy when you use your (Instant Pot) Pressure Cooker. You only need 4 ingredients and 8 minutes for your holiday condiment.

This week, I’ve been organizing my Thanksgiving Menu. I can’t believe I never shared how I make Cranberry Orange Sauce in a pressure cooker! Of course, you can easily adapt this to a stove top. Instead of 8 minutes, plan on about 30 minutes of cooking time.
Most of my turkey, mashed potatoes , gravy and sweet potato recipes are years old on my blog! This year, I’ll take new pictures, test out some new recipes and I hope I can share those with all of you after our feast.
I’ve been a bit scarce due to some health issues. I’m doing better. I have several recipes to share, after the Thanksgiving holiday. Wow, this month will be Year 18 of this humble food blog.
Happy cooking!
