I have cooked black eyed peas myself using just water to cook almost soft, and then adding in a slow cooker some fried bacon and fat, pepper, and salt. How do you cook them? Being new to the south from Oregon, marrying a fine Georgia gal after both being widowed was the best move I did for a long time. I like to try cooking traditional southern foods since her family likes it. Another dish I had at dinners with the extended family was butter beans. another dish I would like to do traditionally, and finally collards. I cook collards with a weak chicken broth, fried bacon and some fat, salt, and at the end, add some vinegar, just enough to barely notice it. I made traditional vinegar and pepper sauce in a dispenser bottle for those that want to add it to the collards, a bit more sour from the apple cider vinegar, and a bit more heat and some pepper flavor from this condiment. How about your recipes? Looking forward to spring, the collards will be growing, and later the black eyed peas, maybe even field corn since I do have a mill. Blessings, and thanks for the tips on the corn bread in a skillet. Oh, and I tried growing grain sorghum this summer, and I think it would be easier than field corn to grow and grind up for bread.
