Purple Hull Peas, Crowder Peas or Butter Beans

Instructions

Combine the water, salt pork, and bacon grease in a large, heavy saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Add the beans or peas and return to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beans are very tender, about 3 hours.  Add more water if necessary to keep the beans or peas covered with liquid.

The pot liquor from purple hull peas is delicious served over slices of white bread.

Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 quart water
  • One and one-fourth-inch thick slice of salt pork (2 to 3 inches long)
  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
  • 4 cups shelled fresh beans or peas (frozen can be used)
