Ingredients

  • • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • • 5-pound pork butt
  • • 12 ounces Dr. Pepper
  • • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup divided
  • • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • • 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions

  • Select saute on your pressure cooker, and add oil and sear the pork on all sides. When done turn off saute feature.
  • Now add in the Dr. Pepper, half the syrup, and half of the seasonings. I put all the seasonings in a bowl and mixed up, and then guaged half.
  • Put lid on pressure cooker and do a 60 minute manual pressure cook.
  • Allow your Instant Pot to fully release naturally, once the pin drops open the lid.
  • Remove all the meat and shred with two forks or meat claw.
  • Remove all but a cup of liquid in the Instant Pot, and then add in the shredded pork.
  • Add in the rest of your syrup, seasoning, and liquid smoke. Stir and saute for 3-5 minutes or until the flavors really blend together.
  • Then serve how you would like!
