Pot Liquor

[Ride1949]

Sorry. It was just too hard to resist.

 

[Ale-8(1)]

Pot likker is the juice left over from cooking veggies like pinto beans, collard greens, etc. The juice left over from making a roast is called gravy.

. . . when mixed with milk, flour, salt, pepper and whatever else the cook sees fit to add.

"Brown gravy" is usually just the juice thickened a little with corn starch or something similar.

In our family, anyway.

Because of this thread I made collards with fresh ham hocks today. ( Usually I find smoked hocks.)

Drank some of the hot pot liquor. So good.

Had some greens for supper. Now I'll be eating good all week.
