     Yield: 2 Servings

     1 c  Dried black eyed peas
     1 sl Ham sandwich meat
          Or ham bits
          OR smoked chicken skin-etc
   1/2 c  Diced celery

          (Maybe just one next time)
 1 1/2 c  Water
          Cut back to 1 1/4 using one
          Bullion cube next time

 Soak peas over night in cold water to cover.  Drain.

 Place in small crockpot, add onion and ham.  Add water to cover.

 Cook on LOW for 12 to 24 hours - depending on how soft you want the
 beans.

 Cooked the test batch 30 hours - too long, got really mushy.

 Second batch was with smoked chicken skin/bones.  Beans were presoaked
 overnight and cooked on low - were done in 12 hours. Food Lion house
 brand.

 Will do again.  Will try adding smoked chicken.

 Tested 6/22/10
