I cooked a pork shoulder in a bottle of cider, I've shredded it to go into a ragu.

What could I do with this?



Would seem a waste to chuck it.

Id stick it in the fridge and then pull the fat off in the morning then freeze the jelly for use in a sauce, or reduce it right down to a concentrate and freeze for a stock base etc

Cool it down use the fat to fry shallots

Add corn flour to thicken tge jelly into a gravy and add the shallots to the gravy.
Add decent standard pork sausages and make braised sausages.

If you reduce it, it will probably make a brillant base for a stirfry sauce or oriental soup, ramen type thing. Otherwise great starting point for your next pork roast gravy.

I freeze stuff like that in an ice cube tray to use as stock.
