Join the discussionI’m not clear on how the items get divided between the two freezer bags.
This recipe makes 8 servings, so you will want to divide the ingredients between 2 freezer bags (to make two 4-serving meals). You will prepare the sauce, then place half of the sauce in each bag; then you will put half of the apples and the pork in each bag and seal.
If you cut the pork shoulder into cubes, this translates into a instant pot recipe easily. Just place all in IP and pressure cook for 35 mins or so (I have an 8qt) and let natural release.
Hi Dawn, Excellent! Thanks so much for sharing your conversion with us! I’ll pass this onto our Menu Builder Team.
