I've made a pea-lover out of DH!! He's never eaten them, wouldn't like them, would never eat them, etc. Well, after making this recipe (used tasso ham) he suggested we go on a mission to find more purple hull peas. Made a 200 mile round trip to a farmer's market but scored 8 bags for the freezer. Thanks for the recipe and for making DH a reformed meat-and-potatoes-only man!!

These are the peas for me. I used fresh purple hulls that I bought and froze this summer. My mom used to make this with salt pork but it was really salty. I liked the flavor the ham gave the peas but I did add a little extra salt and pepper. I had plenty of time and cooked this on low for about 4 hours. Southern heaven yes indeed. Thanks Nurse Di.
