Ham and Redeye Gravy

Country ham slices
1/4 cup brewed coffee
3 tbs vegetable oil
1/4 cup water

Cut slits in the edges of the ham slices, so that the ham won't curl up as it cooks. Place the ham in very warm water and let sit for about 10 minutes, then rinse lightly under cold running water.

In a large skillet, heat the oil (medium high) and add as many ham slices as will fit. Turn the ham to brown on both sides. Put the browned ham pieces in a serving dish and keep warm while all pieces are browned.

When the last of the ham is removed from the skillet, pour in the coffee and water and let come to a quick boil. Stir the gravy and pour over the ham pieces.

Enjoy!
