Notes

HOW TO TURN THIS INTO A FREEZER MEAL:
Place ribs, BBQ seasoning, juice, liquid smoke, and apple cider vinegar into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days.
When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1/2 cup of water or chicken broth in with the frozen food.
Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 45 minutes. Let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
