If necessary, cut meat so it will fit in cooker. Sprinkle and rub seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of pork. Place meat in slow cooker.Step 3
COVER and cook 8 to 9 hours on LOW or 4 to 5 hours on HIGH, until pork is 160 °F.Step 4
CAREFULLY remove lid to allow steam to escape. Change slow cooker setting to Warm. Lift pork from slow cooker to a cutting board using a wooden or silicon utensil. Pull meat apart into shreds using two forks. Ladle onions and desired amount of juices onto meat and combine. Ladle and discard remaining juices from liner.Step 5
RETURN meat to the lined slow cooker. Add barbecue sauce, vinegar, honey, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and ginger; stir gently with a rubber spatula. Cover and heat through.Step 6
