So, with all the talk about Purple Hulls music around here, I just found Purple Hull peas at my local farmers market and got some! Whose got a good recipe?

- Start by frying 2-4 pieces of bacon in a bean pot.
- Add water, keep heat on high heading toward a boil.
- Add half a diced white/yellow onion and a couple diced cloves of garlic
- Add salt to taste.
- After water is boiling, add peas
- Boil for a couple minutes then turn water down to simmer (watch pot for foaming bacon fat wanting to overflow, which you can rake off or stir back into the mixture)
- Simmer (stir occasionally) for 25-30 minutes, tasting here and there for pea tenderness and broth saltiness. Add salt if necessary and turn heat off when pea mashes easily
- Enjoy with sides of cornbread, mater, onion, and hot pepper
- Leftovers are awesome.
It’s pretty late in the season to find them fresh, great job!

Excellent. Thank you so much! Looking forward to trying them out!
One other secret trick I do is add a tablespoon of wagyu tallow to the pot
