4 (1/4 inch thick) slices country ham
1 c. water
1 tbsp. black coffee, optional

Cook ham slices in large heavy skillet over low heat until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove ham to plate. Add water to skillet, stirring to loosen all the browned bits. Continue cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes, adding coffee if desired to darken. Serve gravy over the ham. Makes 4 servings.
