Yes, unless Nellie steals them for the crew at work.

2 lbs of green split peas soaked in 12 cups of water overnight

Put the peas on the stove at medium heat, stir every half hour to make sure the bottom isn't sticking til the peas basically melt (this one took about 6 hours)

Mince one sweet onion and one head of garlic and add, black pepper to taste (I don't measure, just taste once in awhile to see if the soup still tastes fresh)

Cube as much ham as you want and add along with the bone

Let go about 3 more hours and then I put into an ice water bath to let steep overnight

Next day slowly bring back up to where I get what almost looks like lava bubbles on the top, not a boil so it doesn't burn

Again checking regularly for the pepper content

After about 2 hours at temp I take the bone out and clean up whats left to go back in the soup

This time I added about a teaspoon of HDD to give it a little kick and let go for about another hour then take off the fire

Let sit for awhile partial lid open then into the containers and another ice bath to cool down before the fridge or freezer

All these medications and treatments out here, but that right there is the cure for what ails you, without all of the fast-talk warnings.

Hdd?

Probably Habanero Death Dust, a popular rub on here that was produced by Oakridge BBQ.

Marty, that ham looks amazing, and what you did with it is even more amazing. If I close my eyes, and imagine the fragrance of that soup cooking, my mouth begins to water.


Top notch, and thanks for sharing!

Very nice Marty. I did one last week... sorry no pics. Reduced the process down to about 2 hours with the use of a pressure cooker. Yours looks better though!
