Southern Purple Hull Peas
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds frozen purple hull peas
  • water to cover
  • 8 ounces fresh okra
  • 4 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components.
2
Fill a substantial container with purple hull peas; fill it completely with cold water to ensure the peas are fully submerged.
3
Heat the mixture vigorously over extremely high heat until it reaches a rolling boil.
4
Add okra if you're using it and let the mixture cook for 2 minutes, stirring it twice during this time.
5
Decrease the heat to a relatively low level; introduce bacon, sugar, baking soda, salt, and pepper into the mixture.
6
Seal the container; let it cook slowly until the peas are tender, taking anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
