[quote=Anonymous]This recipe confuses me, but maybe that's just because I can't read the whole thing.  never heard of this cooking method at all.

but, every year we make black eyed peas in our crock pot, which is very easy - throw in a pound of dried peas (rinse and pick through first, of course), whatever kind of pork product (i used diced ham) you want to use to round out the flavor (or skip if you're vegetarian), a chopped onion, bay leaves, some chopped up carrots, whatever kind of seasonings you like, let it cook all day and it turns out great.  I especially like to eat this with rice (white or wild) and red wine vinegar added to taste just before eating.

We usually serve with greens or broccoli, corn bread, sometimes ham slices if the peas are relatively light on the meat.

dessert seems to vary year by year.  i'm thinking i will make a chocolate pudding this year, maybe turn it into a chocolate pie.  pineapple upside down cake is another great option.  festive but a lot different than the desserts most of us have been eating all season.

this is pretty typically southern.  you can do the beans on the stove with the soak and then simmer method, but the crock pot is a lot easier because you have a much lower likelihood of burning them.  or maybe that's just me, the mediocre cook![/quote]
