Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil
  • ½ cup unpopped popcorn kernels
  • ½ cup cranberries
Instructions
  • Turn on your Instant Pot and select the Sauté function. Wait until the display indicates the pot is hot.
  • Add the coconut oil to the pot and let it melt completely, swirling the pot to coat the bottom evenly.
  • Pour in the unpopped popcorn kernels. Stir the kernels to ensure they’re all coated in the coconut oil.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid (do not seal the pressure valve), and set the Sauté function to Low. Let the kernels pop for 3-5 minutes, occasionally shaking the pot gently to prevent burning and ensure even popping.
  • Once the popping slows down, turn off the Instant Pot. Open the lid carefully (steam will escape), and pour your freshly popped coconut oil popcorn into a large bowl.
  • Use a sewing needle and thread of choice and run thread through popcorn pieces and room temperature cranberries to create a decorative garland. Enjoy this beautiful and colorful garland at all of your holiday parties!
