Ingredients

3 cups cranberries two 12-oz. bags of fresh cranberries
1 cup water
2 cups sugar granulated
1 teaspoon nutmeg ground
½ teaspoon cinnamon ground
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary optional, to garnish

Instructions

Rinse the cranberries and place them in a colander to drain.
Open the Instant Pot lid and pour in the cranberries, water, sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Gently stir the ingredients to combine.
Close the Instant Pot lid, ensure the valve is up in the sealing position, and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.
Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for at least 5 minutes.
To open the Instant Pot lid, switch the valve to the venting position and manually release any remaining pressure if necessary.
Transfer the cranberry sauce to a serving bowl and sprinkle it with cinnamon.
Optionally, garnish with fresh sprigs of rosemary. You can enjoy the cranberry sauce warm, at room temperature, or chilled. If you prefer it chilled, place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving, or enjoy it warm right away!
