• Combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and salt in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. Add cinnamon stick and select Saute function; cook until sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon stick.

INSTANT POT CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries and discard any mushy berries, then add to the bowl of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot.
• Stir in the orange zest, orange juice, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon stick and salt until evenly combined. Lock the lid, set the vent to seal and cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure.
• Open the lid carefully and give it a stir. If the cranberry sauce isn't thick enough, turn on the sauté function and cook, stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Keep in mind that the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.

INSTANT POT® CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, orange juice, water, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build. As soon as the cooking cycle finishes, turn the Instant Pot® off, as overcooking the cranberries will cause the skins to break.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 7 minutes. Unlock and carefully remove the lid.
• Turn Instant Pot® back on and select Saute function. Stir white sugar and brown sugar into cranberry mixture until sugar melts. Season with a pinch of salt. As soon as sugar has melted, turn off the Instant Pot® to avoid overcooking. Taste cranberry sauce and stir in more sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, depending on how sweet you like your cranberry sauce.
• Transfer sauce to a serving dish and top with orange peel. Serve warm or cold. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.

• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Switch to the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions to release remaining pressure, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Select Saute function and low heat. Add orange marmalade and brown sugar to the cranberry mixture. Cook and stir to combine, breaking up cranberries, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off Instant Pot® and let cranberry sauce cool. Sauce will thicken upon cooling. Store in the refrigerator. For best flavor, bring to room temperature before serving.
