This is a great old recipe that I cooked in an old steel pot. I cook a whole lot of things in that pot.
I have been wanting peas for quite a long time now. I used to go to the fields and pick all types of them and bring back home to sit on the porch and shell. Those were the day’s. But as they is only myself now, I have not wanted to make them for just me for quite a few years now.
I decided what the heck, I want some peas. So I bought the hamhocks and peas at the store and came home and put this pot of peas together. I am glad that I did. They lasted me for many days.
The recipe is: A frozen bag of peas–zipper-white acre-pink eye etc. etc.
A package of ham hocks.
Cover the ham hocks with water after you wash them off. Boil on high heat for one hour. Then add in the peas and cook on medium for one hour. Make sure the water covers the ham hocks. About thirty minutes before done add in four tablespoons of bacon grease and maybe a teaspoon of salt or less. Enjoy over rice.
This is the old country ways of cooking and eating. Add this to meat and bread and you have a fine meal. I only cook in small amounts so I am sorry that the whole dinner is not there.
I hope you come back again as I post on Thur-Sat and Tuesdays.
