Ingredients
1-½cupsreduced sodium chicken or beef broth
½cupcherry jam
2cannedchipotle chiles in adobo sauce, stemmed, seeded (if desired) and chopped
3tablespoonspaprika
2tablespoonsWorcestershire sauce
1teaspoonground cumin
½teaspoonground cloves
½teaspoonground dried mustard
3-½poundsbone-in pork shoulder, skin and visible fat removed
Instructions
Whisk together the broth, jam, chiles, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, cloves and dried mustard in the inner pot. Add the pork and turn over to ensure it is completely coated in the sauce.
Place the lid on the pot and lock in place with the steam release valve in the Sealing position. Cook on HIGH pressure for 90 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is finished, allow pressure to release naturally. If pressure isn't fully released with the float valve dropped after 30 minutes, carefully move steam release valve to Venting position and remove any remaining pressure. (If necessary, cover steam release valve with a dish towel to prevent getting burned.)
Unlock and remove the lid. Using a large slotted spoon and fork, carefully transfer the pork to a large platter.
Press the Sauté button on the InstantPot and bring the sauce to a simmer--stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Reduce sauce until it has a consistency like barbecue sauce.
While the sauce is simmering, shred the pork with two forks. Once the sauce is the desired consistency, turn off the InstantPot and add the meat back to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.
Serve warm.
Store any leftover pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
For additional heat and spice, you can add more than the 2 recommended chipotle chiles. Keeping the chile pepper seeds (and not discarding them) will also make this dish spicier. You can also add more, or less, adobo sauce, as desired.Serving size: 4 ounces shredded pork + sauceClick here to see your WW Points for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.5*PointsPlus (Old plan)
