1/4 cup worcestershire
1/2 c brown sugar
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp powdered ginger

1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder

Cut up roast into 4-5 chunks. Salt and pepper meat.  Add sugar and Worcestershire sauce and all other ingredients and toss, let marinade for a couple hours in instant pot, while off.

When ready to cook, add half cup water to pot and 4 oz tomato paste. Cook on high pressure for 1 hour, then let natural pressure release for 20 minutes.Then shred with forks.

Serve with trader joes cilantro dressing over salad, with beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole, crunchy corn chips topping, flour tortillas, etc. Rice and beans recipe to potentially use is here http://www.melandboyskitchen.com/2009/02/16/shredded-sweet-pork-salad-2/

This was sweet enough but not too sweet. Store in cooking liquid and use fork to pull out pork as needed.
