COUNTRY HAM WITH RED-EYE GRAVY

 

1/4 to 1/2  inch-thick center cut of country ham 
5 tablespoons black coffee
1/2 teaspoon sugar

This is a traditional way of serving country ham in many parts of the South. It's ususally served for breakfast with grits and hot biscuits. Water may be used in place of the coffee, but it won't have that unique flavor.

1)   Fry the ham quickly in an ungreased hot iron skillet for a couple of minutes on each side. Remove the ham from the pan and set aside. If you don't have a iron skillet , then any heavy skillet will do..

2) To fat remaining, add the black coffee and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar, cover, and simmer for about 2 to 3  minutes.

3) Pour the gravy over the ham slices and serve.

Serves  ( 1 big Cowboy or 2 small ones )
