Ways to Use Cranberry Sauce

Is Cranberry Sauce Served Warm or Cold

This is up to you. In most homes, cranberry sauce is served cold, but some homes love it warm. This is a great recipe to make a day in advance to prep for your feast and store in the fridge! 

But if you enjoy it warm, feel free to serve it fresh when your meal is ready. 

How to Thicken Cranberry Sauce

Your Instant Pot Cranberry Sauce will thicken as it stands. You can add a tiny bit of sugar to make it thicker but it’s really not needed. 

How to Store Cranberry Sauce

Allow your sauce to cool then transfer to an airtight container. This will store for up to a week in the refrigerator. 

Just make sure when your sauce is out to be served you don’t leave it for more than two hours at a time. The reason being is when it hits the two-hour mark bacteria can grow at a rapid pace, causing you to potentially get sick. So toss back in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and then re-serve the dish if need be.

Can You Freeze Cranberry Sauce

Absolutely cranberry sauce freezes beautifully. Allow the sauce to fully cool then place in a freezer bag or airtight container. 

If you are using a freezer bag try to get all the air out you can. Then store in the freezer for up to three months. 

Then when ready to thaw, simply place in the refrigerator the night before you plan to serve it. This way it has time to thaw. 

Or if you want to serve warm, pour in a pan on stove and heat on low stirring often. Taste to see if the flavor is still good or sometimes you need to add a touch more sugar. This recipe is crazy simple. When I see the first sign of fresh cranberries in the store, I make this. Give this super easy instant pot recipe a try and let me know how you enjoyed it.
