You can make this recipe in an Instant Pot (or another pressure cooker).
Place chopped jackfruit with 1/2 cup water and cook on high pressure for 5 min. Then let it release naturally for 10 minutes and finish releasing manually.
Drain, shred some more and add BBQ sauce, and it's ready to serve. The whole thing takes about 20-25 minutes, just enough time to get your cole slaw or another favorite salad ready and set your plates for dinner.
