Everyone at Easter dinner loved this gravy. I had never made gravy from ham drippings, but I definitely will be making this again. I did not use Gravy Master as I did not have it and it is Easter so the stores are closed. I don't recall ever seeing it, so I am wondering if it is a regional thing. I suppose I could have used Kitchen Bouquet to darken the gravy, but no one seemed to mind. My only piece of advice would be to perhaps hold off on the salt until you have tasted the gravy. Depending on the saltyness of you ham and resulting drippings you may want to hold off. Thanks for sharing! -
first have to have a good ham, with pineapple and brown sugar, and 1/2 after done, everything here is correct but instead of that master stuff use 1/2 - 1 cup hot coffee so that is why I gave you recipe a 2 because I did try it but it just was not the same.

Whoever wrote the "Note", needs to write better English, hahahah. But sounds amazing -
Very nice recipe. Thank you very much. My Easter ham will now have gravy to compliment it.

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall.
