Place all the ingredients in the slow cooker except for the arrowroot starch. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.
When there is just about an hour left of cooking, spoon out the jackfruit, leaving only the broth. Mix together the arrowroot starch with water OR with 2 tablespoons of the broth. Immediately pour it into the slow cooker and stir. Add the jackfruit back to the slow cooker to finish cooking.
Once the cooking cycle has finished, using two forks (or even a potato masher), gently mash and pull apart the jackfruit so it resembles pulled pork. Mix everything together in the slow cooker and serve and enjoy immediately.
