I bet the caramelization these is just amazing, especially with the sugar in the soda. This sounds like an amazing combo!
Cherry, coke, and jalapeno in the same recipe? Too weird not to be great!
I just got a pressure cooker for Christmas so the timing on this is perfect! Looks delish!
I just got mine too and love it!
What a flavor combination! They look really tasty so I”m pinning this. Going to ask for an Instant Pot for Valentine’s Day. Don’t judge me – I’m off candy and flowers. 😉
