Instant Pot cranberry sauce leaves your hands free to prep other things! This easy homemade cranberry sauce recipe can also be made 2-3 days ahead.
When it comes to cranberry sauce, in my mind, there is only one way: fresh from scratch! The stuff that comes from a can (and retains it’s can shape) just freaks me out.
Ever since I was a kid, my job at Thanksgiving and Christmas has been to cook the cranberry sauce. Homemade cranberry sauce is reeeeally easy to make, but this year, after making it in the Instant Pot, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the stove top method.

Not only that, but you can make this Instant Pot cranberry sauce a few days ahead and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve! This makes your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner so much easier to pull off.
