January 1, 2021 at 10:28 amI have just within the past few years cooked for new years the traditional southern black-eyed peas, cabbage, yams and etc. For black eyed peas I have done crock pot, slow cooker, pressure cooker, and this year in a stock pot. It was so easy, and they were so creamy! This is a great recipe, and will now be the new “go to”.
