Ingredients
- 1 (8 pounds) fully cooked bone-in ham with bone
- Half cup brown sugar
- 1 (6 ounces) bottle of apple juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
Direction
- Preheat the oven to 325° F (165 Celsius). C).
- Place Ham in a large roasting pan, cut side down. Apply brown sugar evenly to the Ham. Pour the apple into the roasting pan. Cover with cover or aluminum foil.
- Bake in the oven preheated until the Ham has been cooked, approximately 80 minutes. An instant-read thermometer placed in the center of the Ham should be reading 160° F (70 degrees Celsius). Allow the Ham to sit for 10 minutes before moving it to a plate for serving. Pour the pan juices back into a pot.
- Combine milk and flour in a jar that has a lid. Shake until the mixture is mixed.
- Bring the pan’s juices to a simmer. Gradually whisk the flour ingredients into the saucepan until the gravy becomes thick in about 5 minutes.
Chef’s Tips
- The flour and butter could quickly burn. Be aware of the temperature. I suggest starting at medium-low heat and gradually moving up to medium-medium heat based on your stove’s heat.
- Feel free to flavor the dish however you’d like! I think the drippings from Ham are so flavorful that I don’t need to add spice or salt. In the last step, make sure to taste your gravy and then adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Do not leave! The entire recipe only takes five minutes, and the gravy from Ham will thicken up very quickly. Keep whisking the dressing on without ceasing until the sauce is thick. Add a small amount of milk to get your desired consistency if it becomes too thick.
How To Serve Ham Gravy
I typically serve ham gravy with the Instant Pot Ham recipe or the holiday spiral ham. It’s also great served with potato mash with country ham steaks or as breakfast with toast or biscuits.
