Basic Gravy (Freezer Batch)

A good gravy makes any meal feel like a proper Sunday roast, even on a Tuesday. I like to make a big pot of this whenever I've got pan drippings or stock on hand, then freeze it in small portions so there's always gravy ready to go with a roast, sausages, or mashed potato.

Why This Works

Gravy from scratch can feel fiddly to make from a standing start, but when it's already in the freezer, you get all the flavour with none of the last-minute fuss.

Kim's Tips

♥ Freezing gravy in ice cube trays is brilliant for portioning out just a spoonful or two for a single serve.

♥ Once frozen, pop the gravy cubes into a labelled freezer bag so they don't take over your whole freezer drawer.

♥ Reheat gently in a small saucepan over low heat, whisking to bring it back to a silky consistency.

What We’re Making From This Next

This simple gravy is only the beginning. Soon, I’ll be using it to create:

  • Mushroom gravy

  • Onion gravy

  • Red wine gravy

  • Peppercorn gravy

  • An easy casserole base
