Cook the pork on Low for 6 to 8 hours. The last hour of cooking, in medium saucepan mix together garlic, half cup water, brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce together.
-
Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium low and stir until the glaze thickens. Slowly add more cornstarch if needed.

Brush the roast with the glaze 2 to 3 times the last hour of cooking. To get the caramelized crust, remove the pork roast from the crockpot and place on an aluminum foil lined pan.
-
Brush more of the glaze on top and broil on High for 2 to 3 minutes until the desired crust is achieved.
-
With two forks shred the pork. Serve with rice, potatoes, or in sandwiches. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
