Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
Adding tomato soup near the end of roasting creates a glaze while preventing the sugars from burning during extended cooking. The acidity in tomatoes helps cut through pork's richness and tenderizes the meat's surface proteins. The soup's liquid deglazes the pan, incorporating flavorful fond into a quick pan sauce, while the tomato solids caramelize to create complex, savory-sweet flavors.
The pork can be seasoned with salt and pepper up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated uncovered to dry-brine the meat and develop better browning. Bring to room temperature before roasting.
Store leftover pork and gravy separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Slice pork before reheating to prevent drying. Reheat slices in the gravy in a covered skillet over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, or in a 325°F oven for 15-20 minutes.
