Storing and Other Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- If the pork is looking dry or if you accidentally overcook it, try adding a little bit of either chicken broth, lemon juice, or even a tad bit of apple cider vinegar to the pork depending on the flavor you are going for.
- You can use the cooking juices to make gravy by straining the pork from it and adding a cornstarch and water slurry to a pot and cooking it till it thickens up.
- You can use pineapple chunks to replace the tidbits, just stain the pineapple juice and chop the pineapple up more so it is less than bite-sized consistency.
