It’s no secret how much I love my Instant Pot.

I mean, I even made it all 5 of my New Year’s Resolutions, for goodness sake.

But if you asked me to name my favorite thing to make in the Instant Pot, I think I would have a hard time narrowing that down.

I love making baked sweet potatoes, because they are lightening fast compared to the oven. I love making bone broth because it doesn’t make my house smell funky. And don’t even get me started about freezer meals.

But honest confession time. My favorite thing to EAT definitely has to be dessert.

And the Instant Pot is downright phenomenal at making them. Cheesecake? Flan? Rice Pudding? Mug Cakes? Jam?

The Instant Pot can do it all.

Make your Instant Pot work for you!

I won’t tell if your Instant Pot is still in its box, pinky swear. 😉

I left mine abandoned in the basement for almost a YEAR because I have a new-thing-instructions phobia, but now I have TWO Instant Pots and they’re both in constant use!

Turns out it’s so easy, a kid can do it — I’ll send you a quick video of my children unboxing and setting it up when you grab your FREE download mini eBook:

What’s in the Guidebook?

You’ll love the simplicity of your Instant Pot, and the free downloadable guidebook will help you:

Adapt your own favorite recipes from the slow cooker

Hard boil eggs perfectly
Cook squash, steam veggies, and make applesauce in your IP
Make dry beans in an hour and perfect rice without boiling over
Steam veggies al dente and make Paleo cauli rice in minutes
Cook a whole chicken and make FAST bone broth

Whether yours is still in the box or you’ve used it a little but want to know more about those techniques, or if you’re still pining for an IP on your wish list, I can’t wait to give you these simple baby steps to success!

Warm, roasted fruit is certainly my most beloved dessert. But I rarely make it because I don’t have time to labor over the stove (simmering fruit for what feels like forever) — and I definitely don’t want to wait around an hour for the oven.

So when I learned that I could make fruit compote IN FOUR MINUTES in my Instant Pot, I was SOLD.

Instant Pot Paleo/AIP Cherry Compote

Don’t tell anyone, but right now I’m sitting at the computer inhaling a bowl of this Cherry Compote while I write. It’s the perfect blend of tart and sweet — and it’s ridiculously easy to make.

We enjoy it straight from the bowl, but I can only imagine how yummy it would taste served over your favorite vanilla (or chocolate!) ice cream, or with a brownie.

Pardon me while I go grab some seconds…

Ingredients

4 cups cherries, frozen or fresh
1 cup apples, shredded or finely diced
2 Tbs. maple syrup
1 Tbs. coconut oil (use the code STEWARDSHIP for 10% off at that site!) or butter
1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup water
3 Tbs. arrowroot powder (preferred) or cornstarch

Instructions

Add cherries, apples, maple syrup, salt (Use the code kitchenstewardship for 15% off of your first purchase), coconut oil, and water to the Instant Pot bowl. Stir well to combine. DO NOT add the arrow root powder!
Check the sealing ring, close the lid, and set the pressure valve to sealing.
Select MANUAL for 4 minutes.
Once the program has completed, quickly release pressure (do not quick release if you have doubled the recipe or you risk spewing fruit out of your pressure valve!).
Stir the compote well — it will be very liquidy.
Select SAUTE, and stir in arrow root powder. Stir well until arrow root powder is combined and compote begins to boil.
Cancel SAUTE. Serve warm or chilled. Compote will continue to thicken as it cools.
If you’re looking to increase nutrition, consider adding a tablespoon or two of collagen to your compote before cooking.
