Ham & Gravy

Ham & Gravy

Adapted from a recipe card in "Cooking with Beer".
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

Instructions

Notes

I will say high cost per serving, I will verify this when I price hams in the higher end grocery stores.
