NEW YEAR BLACK EYED PEAS

New Year Black Eyed Peas image

A delicious New Year's Eve recipe to bring you luck in the new year! I sometimes just use the ham bone and some of the surrounding meat from the traditional Christmas ham that I make each year, but the ham hocks also add a nice, smokey, rustic flavor of their own.

NEW YEAR'S DAY BLACK-EYED PEAS

Black-eyed peas are easy to overcook, so go slow and steady when simmering, and don't forget to taste often to check their doneness. They should be creamy but retain their shape.
