4 tablespoon drippings from 4 half-inch baked ham steaks
1/4 cup firmly packed *light* brown sugar
1/2 cup *strong* fresh-brewed black coffee

Remove the ham steaks.

If you're using salt pork, or pork belly fat (like bacon, but unsmoked), be sure to blanch it before using. To blanch, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, simmer 3 minutes, then drain. Fry a little chunk, and if it's still too salty, blanch it again.
