Ham Gravy?

[weesie]

Hi,

I don't know if very many people have ever heard of it.

I make ham gravy when we have ham, like yesterday.

It may sound wierd but, it is soooo good on mashed potatoes.

A little salty, a little sweet.


This only works if you put pineapple on your ham.


Take the drippings, as much as you can get anyway. We never get alot.

Bring to a boil on the stove.

add about 4 tablespoons of brown sugar

add any remaining juice from the pineapple can.

in a rather large cup, mix 1- 1 and 1/2 cups of water with 4 tablespoons of cornstarch until well blended.

Poor this into the ham juices and stir until it thickens.

It is soooo good.

I am not a big ham eater, but, I LOVE ham gravy!!!
