Instant Pot Cranberry Chutney

This delicious, cranberry chutney is 100% whole – no added oil, no salt, no sugar – just a healthy party in your mouth! It cooks for only 3 minutes in your Instant Pot, with time to come to pressure and to naturally release, it is ready to serve in about 20 minutes plus prep time. You can do the same on your stovetop in the same amount of time. The difference is you don't have to babysit it while it is cooking.  
Slightly spicy, this cranberry chutney leaves you with just a little heat at the back of your throat. If you don't care for spicy food, feel free to eliminate the cayenne pepper. Use this chutney as a side dish, a condiment, a veggie burger topping, an ingredient in a lovely cranberry parfait, or even as an ice cream! 
Buy lots of cranberries while they are in season and freeze them for cranberry ice cream in the spring as a special treat.
This recipe makes at least 8 cups of chutney. It freezes well so considering putting some aside to freeze for later use.
