Tips and Tricks
  • Storing leftovers: Keep leftover gravy refrigerated in an airtight container. Use within 4 days. You can also freeze this gravy in a freezer safe container for at least 3 months.
  • Reheating: I recommend reheating leftovers in a small saucepan- stirring until warm. You can also reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until it is warm throughout.
  • Gravy Boat: If you are wanting a fun new gravy boat, here is one like mine!
