Directions
In a medium bowl mix together all ingredients except pork butt. Place pork in the pressure cooker and pour sauce ingredients over. Bring to full pressure, reduce to medium, and cook for 40 – 50 minutes.
When the pork is cooked, remove from the pot and reserve on a plate until cool enough to handle. When cooled, shred the meat with your hands or using two forks. Let the liquid reduce by half, blend until smooth with a stick blender if desired, and then pour over shredded pork and reserve for assembly.
To serve, pile up the delicious pulled pork on buns topped with pickles and your favorite slaw.
Rad Tip: No pressure cooker? Put all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on high for 5 hours, or braise at 350°F for 5 hours.
