Re: Holiday Food

I make and can my own salsa. When I fix black eyes, I add a half pint of home made salsa to the pot. It makes a big difference. I also use chicken stock rather than water and the end of the christmas ham rather than hocks or jowls.

Not if you cook them with a hambone, or better, a couple of links of
well-seasoned sausage, and an appropriate amount of chopped onions. Some diced
carrots are a good addition. Properly seasoned, they are delicious.
Years ago we used to hold a large open-house party on New Years, with quite
a lot of fancy and elegant foods. I always had a pot of black-eyed peas in
the kitchen for "true believers." Quite a few people, including one gentleman
who was at least a millionaire, would always go looking for them. Haven't
done that for years, but I always have the peas.
