Pork Juices

[Sketcher]

So, I tried a recipe similar to this:

Except I didn't drain the juices. It still turned out great, but now I'm not sure what I will do with all that juice after I have finished the leftover pork and skimmed the fat off the top of it. I guesstimate that I have 2+ cups worth, and it is co-mingled with the canola oil that I greased my pan with. What are some simple, effective ways to make good use of that juice?

You could make some gravy by stirring some sieved flour into the juices over heat? You can add a little bit of red wine or brandy if you want a richer flavour, then just simmer off the alcohol. And some butter.

Store it in a bottle and use it as ear wax remover?

If you cook beans (e.g. pintos), using some it it to cook them would work well. I soak my dry beans in water over night. Then I would slow cook them in a crockpot with some of that juice+water.

Use it for chili or homemade spaghetti sauce. Ragu’s are usually made with pork.
