@rotuts Thanks, it was tasty and turned out well. My husband usually makes the gravy and did so today, I use a similar method. The dish the ham was roasted in had drippings from the fat ( I think he poured some off ) so he made a roux with a little flour, then added some box mix gravy powder with water from the carrots. He’s English and this was the way his mother taught him. However, in UK he used Bisto to add flavour from a box and here in Australia, we use Gravox. I would like to say we made it from scratch and roasted bones and boiled up vegetables and strained it all a la Jamie Oliver, but the truth is… we didn’t. With a 7 month old baby grandson as part of the family get together, there was quite enough to do.
