Ingredients
  

  • 3½ cups ham drippings/juices, separated , from approx 17 pounds of ham
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup ice cold water
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk in 2½ cups ham juices until softly boiling. Keep stirring.
  • To the 1 cup of reserved ham drippings, add 1 cup milk and ½ cup ice water. Then, whisk in ½ cup cornstarch until fully dissolved. You don't want any lumps because once you add this slurry to the boiling juices, you won't be able to get the lumps out.
  • Pour the cornstarch mixture/slurry into the pot and whisk until bubbly and thick.
