Ham Gravy

Step 1

Roast ham on a roasting rack in the oven. My 9 lb ham took about 3 hours at 325 degrees.

Step 2

Drain drippings and broth from the roasting rack.

Step 3

Pour broth in a measuring up. If you don't have 2 cups of broth add water, store bought broth, milk or cream to have two total cups of liquid.

Step 4

Melt two tablespoons of butter in a skillet on low to medium-low heat. Be careful to not burn the butter.

Step 5

Add two tablespoons of flour to the butter. Whisk continuely for two minutes to smooth out any flour lumps.

Step 6

Flour and butter mixture should be slighly golden and smooth.

Step 7

Slowly pour in a little broth at a time. Whisk well then add more broth.

Step 8

*instead of using 2 cups of ham broth, use 1/2 cup ham broth with 1.5 cups milk, cream or coffee.

Step 9

Whisk and simmer gravy until reduced to your perfered thickness.
