- 1 cup 100% orange juice
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the inside of the Instant Pot and mix together.
- Place the lid on top and lock into place. Turn the valve to SEALING. Select MANUAL (or Pressure Cook). Set the time for 7 minutes.
- When cooking ends, do a NATURAL RELEASE of the pressure (will take 10-15 minutes).
- Remove the lid.
- Spoon the sauce into a bowl and chill until ready to serve. The sauce will continue to thicken up as it cools.
Stovetop Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and orange juice and whisk together until sugar is dissolved.
- Stir in cranberries and cook for about 10 minutes, or until they begin to pop.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
- Sauce will thicken as it cools.
Notes
- As the sauce cools down, it will thicken. If your sauce still has a lot of liquid when you are putting it in the container, do not worry.
- Make this recipe the day before, and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
- Cranberries are naturally bitter. By adding in the maple syrup and sugar this recipe is able to counteract the bitterness of the cranberries.
