I canned black eyed peas and I love them. Add some bacon and onions. Eat with greens and cornbread! Yummo!

I did can black eye peas too, omg I love it because I add it to rice

[@mommahowdoi44]

In the southern areas of the United States, Black-eyed peas are eaten for New Years. It is about bringing luck to the household. To cook them southern style, add the jar of peas to a pot with enough water to cover them. Add some minced onions, a bit of garlic, some black pepper, and some sort of smoked meat (like bacon, ham, ham hocks etc). Allow it to simmer for 30 minutes and enjoy with a fresh slice of cornbread!

[@donnaduprey5197]

I over planted black eyed peas a few years ago and ended up canning a bunch to preserve the harvest. Aside from an occasional meal of beans and cornbread, I resorted to just tossing them in soup like any white bean, and also drained them super well and fixed them up like refried beans. Worked surprisingly well.

[@vashstampedo]

Use canned black eyed peas in cowboy caviar. If you have not tried cowboy caviar you are missing out! It’s great and good snack for the kids.

I rebel can too. If everything is clean and sanitized, I do not see a problem canning something they say not too. For years I did nothing but waterbath canning but I never did meats. I bought a pressure canner for meats. I gave learned since, for example the Amish, water bath everything. It is just in how long it is boiled.

I live in an earthen home on the foothills of mountains. We have a greenhouse/sunroom x2. One is off the main living space and one is off our master bedroom space. We grow tomatoes and other goodies throughout the winter months inside our greenhouse/sunroom spaces. The snows are here this time of year and will be here now until late spring. We got eight inches of snow the day before yesterday. The snow is falling in the mountains next to us as I write. I am watching as it's moving in our direction. Preparation is crucial for us. We prepare all summer long. Your videos are a huge inspiration. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@lauriegb7461]

For sun dried tomatoes, we just leave them dry until needed. Then cover with boiling water and soak until soft. Oil can go rancid over time. Dried can remain good for years if properly stored. For black-eyed peas, we eat with ham (ham hock) over white rice. Side of corn bread. "Hoppin' John' is a traditional food for New Year's Day.

[@Eph1-4]

Black eyed peas are good cooked with ham or sausage, also in soup. That peach syrup on vanilla ice cream🤩 I don’t know if you’re familiar with arrowroot powder but it’s great for thickening and some folks can with it. It would thicken your soup no problem while heating it on the stove to eat. Maybe you could use the banana jam as filling in a muffin🤔 It is disappointing when something we put up isn’t as useful as we thought….of course it’s always a lovely surprise when something we put up is way more useful than we thought too💕

The black eyed peas are good if you throw onions sautéed in bacon grease along with bits of bacon or chopped ham steak. All it needs is a heat-up and salt to taste. I suggest serving it in bowls along with baking powder biscuits. We ate them this way all the time growing up.

[@maryanngibson3690]

I used the banana butter to flavor homemade yogurt. And any other jelly, jam or butters that don't get used the first year. Hubby has been loving the new flavor concoctions with each new batch of yogurt. They can also be used to make jelly rolls and muffins. I used a jar of Blackberry preserves to sweeten a fresh frozen blackberries and used them in a cobbler.

I love black eyed peas cooked with smoked turkey wings and better than bouillon ham base, black pepper, a little onions and a little garlic.

I peel and freeze bananas when I get a good deal. They stay nice for a couple months. When they start to turn dark the last chance is banana bread. It buys you about 3 months storage for bananas.

Texas here. We eat black eyed peas a lot here. Usually we make a batch with a piece of bone 🍖 with meat on it. It goes great with corn bread. But it’s also a good filler in soups. Don’t laugh, but when the weather finally hits 60 degrees, it’s soup weather here. We get cold but not northern cold. Except when we got temps colder than Alaska in 2021, and our energy company decided to shut the grid off. It didn’t turn out well. But I digress.

I’ve always heard that in the south they eat black eyed peas on the first day of the new year for making sure the new year brings good things to their family and themselves. I’ve started that tradition and I’ve also not grown up eating them so I’ve cooked them with ground beef or sausage and made either a chili or soup, and at the end, just before serving I add handfuls of spinach. Quite tasty! 👍😘

Peach jam...if it didn't solidify just use it for a peach cheese cake or same thing with banana butter: pick the lime pie recipe and replace lime by your peach jam ❤ I do that all the time and it works! Also replacing liquids in a bundt cake, instead of milk use your juice or that liquid jam (if you use the jam take accountability of sugar, so put less sugar than the recipe says).

When rice is done cooking I combine it all together, melt some cheese on top, then top with sour cream and salsa.

I do not think that you need to bring up the acid in sun dried tomatoes. 1. tomatoes are an acid food...2. Oil is a great preservative, it coats the product and bacteria cannot get in...3. Heat during processing kills off bacteria if cooked long enough. As long as it is being processed in a clean and sanitary environment. As for the blackeyed peas. Ham and bean soup served with cornbread. I just finished another case of black eyed peas. It is also good in 7 bean soup. They can also be used as refried beans on tostadas.

Turkeys are on sale since Thanksgiving is coming up so I will load up and then can the leftovers and broth as we use them. Before garden season begins in the spring, I will clean out the freezer and make soups. If the onions in the pantry don't last, they will be pickled. I also can every variety of dried bean to have ready at a moment's notice. Some are getting low and need to be replenished. When fruit juice went on sale I loaded up to make jellies. That is on the to do list also. My husband loves a spoon of black-eyed peas on his lettuce salads. I have a Nesco electric canner and it stays out on the counter year round.

I was going to suggest grated potato. I PRESSURE Can all my soups, stews and curries with a little extra broth solely to drain the juices into the pan first and add a small grated potato, carrot or slice of squash. Cooks really quick and disintegrates to form a thicker sauce. When almost done, add in the remaining contents of the jar. Simmer for two minutes. Then season to taste. We prefer this method of thickening to rue/flour unless it’s for gravy or a sauce for a savoury pie filling or curry when I might also add milk, coconut milk and/or cheese.
