Ingredients

2- pound boneless pork loin roast or pork shoulder butt roast
1 can cranberry sauce
1 cup bbq sauce
½ cup of water
Salt & Pepper

Instructions

Start by adding your water into your pressure cooker.
Now you will remove your pork roast from the package and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper all over.
Place the roast into the Instant Pot on top of the water.
In a small bowl whisk the cranberry sauce and the bbq sauce together and once mixed pour over the pork.
Place pressure cooker lid on, and make sure the valve is set to sealing.
Do high pressure for 30 minutes followed by a full natural release of pressure.
Once done, remove the lid, and shred your cooked pork roast.
Add the meat to a bun, top a baked potato, eat alone, etc.
This bbq cranberry Instant Pot pulled pork is so delicious, easy to make, and versatile to serve up.

Notes

To make in the slow cooker, skip the water, add ingredients into the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until roast is cooked through.
You can swap fresh cranberry sauce in and get rid of canned cranberry. A great way to use leftover cranberry sauce up.
Any brand of bbq sauce will work, we do a Kansas City-style sauce out of preference.
You will need to adjust the cooking time if you use a larger pork roast. I used a 2 lb pork roast.
You must allow your pork to naturally release, otherwise you will end up with really tough pork.
Save the leftover bbq pork in the fridge for around 3-4 days.
Feel free to freeze any pork you don't plan to eat right away. Just store in a proper container for around 3 months. Thaw in the fridge the night before you plan to eat.
