Black Eyed Peas for New Years Good Luck

One large bag of dried black eyed peas
1/4 or 1/2 pound of ham (I used turkey ham because it was on sale)
1 tsp of minced garlic

Rinse beans. Cover the beans with 1" to 2" of water and soak in a glass bowl overnight. Watch them because they might soak up all the water--in which case you need to add more water!

In the morning, add the garlic, ham, beans and their water to a crock pot. Throw in some Kosher salt (a small handful--maybe 3 tablespoons?) and turn on high for three or four hours. After that, switch it to low until you are ready to eat.

Serve with corn bread (we used Corn Kits) and some kind of a green vegetable (I think we used bagged fresh spinach).

Yield-10-15 servings.
