2 cups frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
In a small bowl, mix together the allspice, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to make a spice rub.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, making sure to coat all sides.
Heat the olive oil in an Instant Pot set to Sauté

Remove the pork and set aside.
Add olive oil as needed, chopped onion, garlic, and habanero pepper to Instant Pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the frozen mango chunks, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, stir to combine.
Return the pork shoulder to the Instant Pot
Cover and set Instant Pot to Slow Cook for 4 hours.
Check the texture of the pork. It should shred easily with a fork.
Pressure Cook in Instant Pot for 30 minutes
Check the texture again.
If needed, return to Instant Pot on the Pressure Cook setting for 15 more minutes
Remove pork from the Instant Pot and shred using two forks.
Strain the sauce into a small saucepan if you desire a smooth sauce, or simply pour the sauce into a small saucepan.
