Instructions
Wash cranberries in a bowl of water (check for soft, discolored cranberries and stems), drain, and put into the Instant Pot.
Add the orange juice and ½ cup sugar. Lock the lid, program the Instant Pot to pressure cook for 2 minutes, and then allow the pot to natural pressure release (approximately 10 minutes).
Open the lid and stir the cranberry sauce, use a clean spoon to taste and add more sugar one tablespoon at a time, as desired, and stir to melt the sugar.
Transfer the cranberry to a serving bowl and allow to cool to room temperature to thicken. Refrigerate if making ahead.
