Steps:
- Into the pan that the ham was cooked in (or use bacon grease if you don't have ham juices), add the butter. Once melted, add 1/4 cup of the flour and whisk to combine. Continue adding flour, whisking constantly, until a smooth paste is achieved. Cook the roux over a medium heat until you get a nice deep golden color, about 3 minutes. Add the milk, whisking the whole time to prevent lumps forming. Cook until thick and season to taste. Serve over biscuits!

MAKE-AHEAD GRAVY
You need gravy on Thanksgiving to aid the turkey, moisten the potatoes, douse the stuffing. But traditionally it's made at the last minute, after the turkey has been removed from the roasting pan. Here's a secret: There's no need to make gravy right before serving. You can make it up to five days ahead. Then, as you reheat it, whisk in the turkey pan drippings for extra flavor. The result is every bit as good as last-minute gravy - and far less crazy-making.

HAM GRAVY; SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS
I whipped this gravy up because we had none. I don't recall ever having nor hearing of ham gravy before, but it was so good I have to share. The ham I used was a 9lb bone-in, fully cooked, hickory smoked, glazed and spiral cut, it also came with a brown sugar packet for a second glazing. After I covered the ham with foil and put it in the oven for an hour (as the directions directed), I spooned out some drippings BEFORE adding the second glaze and returning the ham to the oven for the final 30 minutes of warming up.

GRAM'S HAM LOAF
Famous Western Pennsylvania Ham Loaf. Perfect way to use up left over smoked ham after Christmas or Easter. Be sure to serve it with a generous amount of sauce. We use a hand-held meat grinder that belonged to my husband's great-grandmother - doesn't take long and is somewhat nostalgic.
