½ cups pomegranate juice (1 cup for slow cooker)
1 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 teaspoons kosher salt (or 2 teaspoons sea salt)

We loved this! I used tart cherry juice instead of pomegranate, doubled the recipe and used the slow cooker recipe. Happy tummies all round and super delicious as left over in soft tacos with melted cheese and left over coleslaw.

This recipe is so yummy that I've made it weekly for the last several. My family LOOOOOVES it. So easy in the instant pot and the pomegranate juice and vinegar add such a beautiful flavor to the meat. Thank you, Ali, for all of your recipes!
