Instant Pot Sweet Pork is perfect for Cinco de Mayo or Mother’s Day, it is so fast and yummy, you could make it for both.

One thing that I did that I usually do not do is I took the can of soda, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup brown sugar and marinated the meat in a bag overnight.  Then the next day, I seasoned my meat and cooked it just like the recipe and the meat was so tender, it just fell apart. This is a little tip that my new son-in-law gave me. He is a very good cook. In fact both of my son-in-laws are great cooks!
