Instant Pot Cranberry Butter

The clear mason jar, twine, and a cute label announcing it’s contents is one of the sweetest gifts around.  It just shows the love and care that went into it.  But does it always need to take hours to make?  Here is a quick Instant Pot Cranberry Butter that makes for a perfect gift.

It’s just not the holiday season without cranberries for me. In fact, this is one of the first recipes I posted as it’s a family favorite (photography skills were a little basic but the recipe is yummy).  And now, this cranberry butter is sure to be a staple on Christmas morning. Cranberries for everyone!

I learned something in the juice isle, and that is, I don’t know what’s going on with cranberries, but they’re getting in all the other juices. Whoever the salesman for cranberries does a great job. He’s showing up everywhere. “Hey what do you got? Apples? Well let’s put some cranberries in them; we’ll call it cran-apple – go fifty fifty. What do you got? Grapes? What about cran-grape? What do you got? Mangos? Cran-mango! What do you got? Pork chops? Cran-chops! – Brian Regan
