Ingredients

  • 1, 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries washed
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ cup finely diced jalapenos (about 2 large), seeds and ribs removed
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • dash of salt
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • juice from half a lime
  • 2, 16 ounce packages cream cheese

Instructions

  • Combine cranberries, sugar, jalapeños, water, vinegar, cinnamon, and salt in the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
  • Lock the lid, turn the knob to Sealing, and pressure cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow a 5 minute natural pressure release, then release the rest of the pressure.
  • Remove the lid and press Saute on the Instant Pot and adjust to Low. 
  • In a small dish, whisk 3 tablespoons cold water with cornstarch. Bring the sauce to a simmer or low boil. While whisking the sauce, add the cornstarch slurry to thicken.
  • Turn off the heat (if it is too bubbly, take the inner pot out of the Instant Pot base and place it on a heat proof surface), and add the juice from half a lime.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl or large mason jar and refrigerate until cool. Serve over softened cream cheese with crostini or crackers!
