Instructions

Prepare the pulled pork (Instant Pot Directions)

  1. Sprinkle on onion powder, paprika, plus salt and pepper onto both sides of pork. Using the Instant Pot, add about 1 tablespoon oil to pot and first use sauté mode to sear pork on both sides. Then turn pot to manual mode, add 1 cup of liquid (beer or stock), close lid making sure valve is sealed; cook on manual (high pressure) for 15 minutes and naturally release. See notes for crockpot cooking. 

cherry chipotle barbecue sauce

  1. Meanwhile prepare the BBQ sauce: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine ketchup, cherry preserves, beer (or water), apple cider vinegar, molasses, honey, dijon mustard, coconut aminos (or tamari) liquid smoke (if you have it), garlic cloves, adobo sauce, onion powder and paprika. Use whisk to combine and allow mixture to come to a quick boil, then turn heat down and simmer about 30 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat when done – you can also make this ahead of time and store in covered jar in fridge.

Notes

  • SLOW COOKER METHOD for PORK: Option to sear seasoned pork in skillet over medium heat first, or place directly in slow cooker. Add 1 cup of liquid to slow cooker with seasoned pork and cook on low for about 4 hours. Depending on how much pork you use (I only have 1lb) you may need more time to cook.
