PRESSURE-COOKER SPICY PORK ROAST WITH APRICOTS

Pressure-Cooker Spicy Pork Roast With Apricots image

I wanted to create a roast with a slightly sweet taste that would be good for dinner and then sliced for sandwiches the next day. I like to serve this with a country gravy made with some of the juices and pieces of apricot from the roast. -Paulina Parker, Livingston, Texas
