PEASE PUDDING AND HAM

Steps:

• Soak the ham and peas separately overnight.
• Drain and add to large saucepan with onions and enough cold water to cover.
• Simmer gently for 2 hours, ( the peas will become a puree,,,that's meant to happen).
• Remove the ham and allow to cool.
• Add the egg butter and seasoning to the peas and mix well.
• Pour into a greased pudding bowl.
• Using a steamer or a half filled pan of boiling water with a well-fitting lid, steam for 1 hour.
• Serve warm with slices of cold ham.

HAM BONE AND GREEN SPLIT PEA SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter and oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add celery, onion, carrot, and salt. Cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in peas and garlic. Nestle ham bone into the pot; add stock and diced ham. Fill pot with water to about 1 1/2 inches from the top. Mix and bring soup to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot and stirring every 30 minutes, until peas are mostly disintegrated, about 2 1/2 hours. Turn ham bone and skim surface for fat once every hour. Take bone out, remove any meat, and return meat to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
