My mother use to make a version of this recipe when I was a kid, except she had cubed potatoes in hers. They were really good, because she made them from peas & potatoes from our garden. This is not the exact recipe my mom made , but it did remind me of her version when I first received the recipe that was submitted for my cookbook. Another similiar recipe of yester year.

    Continue to stir as you add peas & cook for 8 to 10 minutes over low heat. Add salt & pepper as desired. These peas are really good over mashed potatoes.

    NOTE: I did add about a tablespoon and a half of dehydrated minced onions to this recipe as well as some garlic powder, & white pepper instead of black to give it a better balance of flavor, allow it to simmer on low for the specified time, or maybe a few minutes extra.
