Ingredients used to make Instant Pot Cranberry Pork Chops Recipe:

For the sauce 

• Jellied cranberry sauce 
• BBQ sauce 
• 2 tablespoons ketchup 
• Dijon mustard 
• Garlic powder
• Salt 
• Whole cranberry sauce

For the pork chops 

• Pork chops (this works great for a boneless pork loin roast or even bone-in pork chops)
• Salt 
• Ground black pepper 
• Avocado oil  
• Butter, cut into thin slices 

How to make Instant Pot Cranberry Pork Chops Recipe:

• Make the sauce. Add the jellied cranberries, BBQ sauce, ketchup, Dijon, garlic powder, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a mixing bowl and stir in the whole cranberry sauce. 
• Sear the pork chops. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Heat the avocado oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Place pork chops into the pan and sear for 2 minutes on either side. You might have to do this in batches to avoid crowding the pan. 
• Pressure cook the pork chops. Add the pork chops to the pressure cooker. Layer them with the sauce so that each piece comes in plenty of contact with the sauce. Distribute the slices of butter evenly over the pork chops. Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure with a cooking time of 15 minutes. When the cook time is done, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes before removing the lid from the pressure cooker. 
• Serve. Serve the pork chops over mashed potatoes. Spoon the sauce over the juicy pork chops.

How to change up the flavor of the cranberry sauce:

If you want different ways to flavor this recipe, you can always change up the sauce ingredients a little bit. 

Here are a few ideas: 

1. Add different flavors by using either balsamic vinegar, white wine, chicken broth, orange juice (or orange zest), or apple cider vinegar in the sauce. 
2. Use fresh cranberries and make a reduction to create a whole berry cranberry sauce instead of using the jellied cranberry sauce.
