I am wondering how far in advance you can make the cranberry sauce and could it be frozen? By the way, I have made several of your recipes since I discovered your site and have LOVED each one of them! Thank you for having practical and tasty new recipes to try! I am using my Instant Pot more often now!
Hi Susan! Thank you for the kind words! I have made this cranberry sauce and kept it in the fridge for a few days and it was fine. You can freeze it as well. Use an air-tight container or freezer bags (I double them). It will keep for several months frozen.
