 Rinse and pick over peas. Cover w/water and leave to soak
 overnight. Next morning, drain, add remaining ingredients,
 and bring to boil. Cover pot, turn down heat, simmer for
 about 2 hrs. stirring occasionally.

 When peas are tender, remove ham bone or knuckle, cut
 meat from bone, and return to pot. Take out herb sprigs.
 Puree if desired, reheat, and serve in individual bowls,
 each topped with a small pat of butter.

 Serves 8.
