2 Tablespoons Butter

HAM GRAVY; SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS



Ham Gravy; Simple and Delicious image

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.
