Sweet Gravy Recipes

BAKED HAM AND SWEET GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325-degrees. Trim ham and score. Place in an open roasting pan with 1 cup water.
• 2. Bake 12 minutes per pound. Meanwhile, drain pineapple, reserving juice. Mix pineapple juice and brown sugar to make the glaze for the ham.
• 3. The last hour of baking remove ham from oven and arrange pineapple rings and cherries. Secure with toothpicks. Pour half the glaze over ham and return to oven.
• 4. Baste several more times with the glaze, using it all up.
• 5. Remove ham from oven and transfer to either a cutting board or serving platter. While ham is resting skim as much grease as possible from ham drippings in pan.
• 6. Mix water and flour together along with salt and pepper in a jar or Tupperware shaker. Slowly add to the remaining drippings in the pan. Stirring to make sure all flour is dissolved. Bring to a boil to thicken. If gravy is too thick, add water to thin to desired consistency. If too runny make up a bit more flout and water. Add a couple dashes Kitchen Bouquet or Gravy Master to get desired color.
• 7. Serve with mashed potatoes and wait for the oohs and ahhs.
