3 (1/4 to 1/2-inch thick) country ham slices
1/4 c. butter
1 c. strong brewed coffee
1/4 c. light brown sugar

Make cuts in fat to keep ham from curling. Melt butter over low heat in a heavy skillet. Add ham and cook 5 minutes on each side until light brown. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Stir brown sugar into hot drippings until dissolved, if brown sugar is desired. Add coffee; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
