I made this for New Years Day and it was absolutely delicious!! I think we have started a new tradition too now. I could not however bring myself to place a dime into the pot. I am a serious germ-a-phobe and could not imagine the dreadful things I would be adding to that pot of soup if I had put the dime in there!!
Thank you for the wonderful meal

We have B-E Peas every year for New Year’s. But, I love them any time of year and make them when I think about it. What I’m getting at is, that I have eaten a LOT of B-E Peas in my life! My mom made the best. But, these are, by far, the very best B-E Peas that I have ever had! I made them for New Years this year for a group of friends. Everyone loved them and couldn’t say enough good things about them. I loved the red onions on top! Anyway, I don’t normally post, but I just had to let you know just how good I think these peas are.
Happy New Year!

It’s just not right that it should be 38 degrees in California.

Good thing you brought your peas to HI! I had trouble finding any this year. Did finally find a bag and tried something new-hummus made with black eyed peas. Delicious!

Don’t wait for NY’s to try it.

I think the dime was there to make the kids eat all the peas. What incentive! They would eat and eat, and hope they found it in the last bite…

My Dad was from North Carolina and ham hock and beans were traditional in our family every New Years Day. I never liked Black eyed peas until I was older but they are the beans of choice with my ham hock. I always fix a ham either sometime around Christmas or New Years Eve and then use the remaining ham and ham hock for the soup. This year I added a few extras and my son told me it was the best ever. Serve with hot cornbread and honey and we were in heaven!

Made these for New Years. Didn’t use the coin and did not need to season. Just used salt pork, onion, red bell pepper, peas, chicken broth, and water. Perfect!

These were the very best black-eyed peas I’ve ever eaten!!! Of course I had to “fry up” a few slices of the “streak of lean” I bought for these. Oh my I had forgotten how good this stuff is!
