As usual, I'll wait until I need one and then search. <br /><br />Leigh, I'm suprised with your "northern" background that you're not in the sauerkraut and pork camp too. I bought a "fresh" package in the meat department and SM asked me to toss a touch of brown sugar on it. Slow cooking ~15 hrs in the crock pot. It was delish (suprise!)<br /><br />Mom, It's green! Maybe baby sh*t green but it's green! (grin)<br /><br />Emma, I usually "google" for recipe ideas. Start there and twist it to my tastes.<br /><br />"Allrecipes" is a good site to start with, that's where I got this split pea recipe. Be sure and read the comment section for the "real cooks" opinions on the recipe and any changes they may have made. <br /><br />I find with soups, slow is best. I simmered this soup about 3 hrs start to finish. And then I used my hand mixer to smooth it out more. Keep tasting. <br /><br />Anything by Alton Brown can be trusted to be great!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597093453934852571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059935180600513762.post-68207949245555422642011-01-01T12:51:07.909-05:002011-01-01T12:51:07.909-05:00Well, my house stinks for a much sadder reason -- ...Well, my house stinks for a much sadder reason -- the trash *really* needed to be taken out. I never understand how it can go from fine at night to rather ripe the next day. And it's cold again here today so I can't really open the windows to air it out. Hopefully it'll clear out soon. =)<br /><br />On another note, I have a bunch of split peas that need cookin' so I'd love to try your recipe if you're open to sharing. I'm not sure I've ever had split pea soup before, so yours would set the benchmark! <br /><br />Aaaand, I don't like kraut either. We can shun it together! <br /><br />Happy New Year Tami and thanks for stopping by our blog. Fruit trees and bushes are definitely on the wish list for this year. I need to figure out how to keep the deer, beavers, and hogs out of them too since we aren't living there yet.

When I lived in Louisiana, ...Interesting tradition. When I lived in Louisiana, the tradition was cooked cabbage, black eyed peas and rice for good luck. <br /><br />About that sauerkraut. Are you making your own or using commercially canned? The commercially canned is little more than pickled cabbage. Home fermented is in a class all its own. I didn't used to care for sauerkraut until I started making it for myself. Now it makes my mouth water!<br /><br />Nor sure what we're having for dinner. DH asked for eggs, so I'll probably make an omelet. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059935180600513762.post-61968212372436222832011-01-01T08:32:36.618-05:002011-01-01T08:32:36.618-05:00I love split pea soup!
