Instructions

Slow Cooker Instructions

  • Place the pork butt into the base of a 6 quart slow cooker. Rub the garlic, salt, and pepper all over the pork.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. Drain off at least half of the grease and juices.
  • Pour sweet salsa mixture onto the pork and let cook for another 1-2 hours until pork shreds easily.

Instant Pot Instructions

    • Rub the garlic, salt and pepper all over the roast. Pour the sweet salsa mixture onto the seasoned pork. Place into an electric pressure cooker or instant pot.
  • Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes, followed by a 15-minute natural release. Then, switch the release valve to the venting position. Remove lid once steam has stopped coming out. If the roast is larger than 5 pounds, add on extra time.  Ladle out any excess grease.

Oven Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Place roast into a 5-7 quart oven-safe pot with lid, or use a roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil later. Place the pork roast into the pot and rub the garlic, salt, and pepper all over to coat.
  • Cover with lid or tightly cover with aluminum foil. Roast at 225 degrees for 6 hours. Pour the sweet salsa mixture onto the pork, cover, and let cook for another 1-2 hours, until pork shreds easily with a fork. Ladle out about half of the drippings. Shred in the pan and mix with juices.
