Layer the Base: Position the quartered onions in the slow cooker to form a bed for the roast.
Whisk the Liquid: Combine broth, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, thyme, pepper, and salt in a bowl for your flavorful cooking liquid.
Prepare the Roast: Set the pork atop the onions, spread minced garlic over it, and douse with the prepared liquid, ensuring it seeps around the onions.
Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the pork is tender enough to shred effortlessly with a fork.
Rest and Serve: Remove the roast to rest a bit before shredding or slicing. Optionally, thicken the cooking liquid with cornstarch and water for gravy.
Enjoy: Serve the pork with your chosen sides, topped with the rich homemade gravy.
