Fried Country Ham And Red-Eye Gravy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

country ham slices, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Preparation

Slice ham 1/4-inch thick.
Trim off skin and part of the fat. (Save trimmings for seasoning beans and vegetables and for making red-eye gravy.)
Place a little of the saved fat in a medium-hot skillet.
After fat has heated, place sliced ham in the skillet and let cook for 2 minutes per side.
If ham is overcooked, it becomes tough and hard.
