Instructions
  1. Place dried cranberries into the inner pot of your instant pot pressure cooker. Add cranberry juice, zest from 1 orange and juice from 1 orange.
  2. Lock the lid into its position. Press MANUAL (pressure cooking) and set the time to 12 minutes. When ready, wait 5 minutes before releasing the pressure manually (you can also wait until the pressure drops itself).
  3. Puree the cranberries with immersion blender to your desired consistency. Taste it and stir in sugar (add less if you feel that the cranberry sauce is way too sweet). Squeeze some lemon juice in for little tartness (optional).
  4. Spoon/pour into a serving dish and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
1. If you don’t have brown sugar, use white sugar instead.
2. Taste the sauce before adding the sugar in as the cranberry juice might contain some.
3. If you feel that the sauce is way too thick, add more orange or cranberry juice. If it is too thin, you can thicken it with cornstarch.
4. The amount of cranberry sauce you will get out of this recipe might vary slightly, depending on how thick you want your sauce. When you follow this recipe you will get 1½ cups of sauce.
5. This recipe was developed for a 6-quart/6-liter instant pot.
6. The overall time does not include the time the pot needs to come to pressure and release its pressure count with extra 16 minutes.

Cream caramel

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • ¼ cup water (60 g)
  • 2 ½ cups heavy cream (626 g / 650 ml)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed (56 g)

Method:


  1. Warm cream in microwave for about twenty seconds to bring it to room temperature.
  2. Pour sugar in the center of a medium sauce pan, as much as possible avoiding the sides of the pan. Pour the water going around to dampen the sides of the pan finishing towards the center to dampen the sugar. Gently swirl the pan to spread the water evenly, but don’t stir. Turn on heat to medium high.
  3. Let the mixture come to a boil. Do not stir. When the syrup turns a light golden amber color, remove the pan from the heat. Gradually pour the heavy cream into the syrup while stirring.
  4. Return the pot to medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or better still a straight edge wooden stirrer to blend and prevent scorching the pot. It’s normal for the sugar to seize after you’ve added the cream. Just heat and keep stirring and the sugar will eventually dissolve forming a smooth sauce.
  5. Still on medium heat, add butter. Continue to cook down and stir the caramel until it has thickened and the color turns golden. Cook it down longer than you would a caramel sauce as you want a filling that will somewhat hold its shape.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salt. Keep stirring to help the caramel cool down.
