AUNT THELMA'S RED EYE GRAVY

Aunt Thelma's Red Eye Gravy image

Original Red Eye Gravy is just country ham drippings and strong black coffee. I have had it many times made by my MomMoo (mom) like this poured hot over grits and fried eggs with a hot buttered biscuit to dip in it! YUMMMMM!!!! When I want the real deal this is how I still make it. But my kids think the bitter has to be calmed...

RED EYE GRAVY

Red Eye Gravy image

Red eye gravy gets its name from the appearance of the gravy's color. This gravy was originally made from the fat of ham steaks and then most often used as an added component to the ham dish. In this recipe, I will be using ham stock cubes as a substitute for fat drippings as an alternative.

RED EYE GRAVY

Red Eye Gravy image

This southern classic is more of a thin sauce than a traditional thick gravy. It's made with strong coffee and drippings from a slice of cooked country ham. Red eye gravy has intense flavor with salty and bitter notes that pair well with biscuits, grits and ham. If you prefer a more mellow flavor, add a dash of brown sugar. -Peggy Woodward, Shullsburg, Wisconsin
