FAQs
Can I make pork gravy without drippings?
Yes, you can! Simply use unsalted chicken stock or vegetable stock as the base, and follow the same steps for making the roux and thickening the gravy.
What if I don’t have a fat separator?
You can let the drippings sit for a few minutes in a measuring cup, and then use a spoon to skim off the fat from the top.
How do I store leftover pork gravy?
Store any leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a bit of stock or water to loosen it up.
Can I freeze pork gravy?
Yes, pork gravy freezes well. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Can I use butter instead of pork fat?
Absolutely! If you don’t have enough pork fat, you can use butter to make your roux.
