It is from the Betty Crocker cookbook I gave my grandmother in 1976.
2C dried split peas
2 quarts water
1 finely chopped medium onion
1/4t pepper
ham bone
cubed, cooked ham
Heat peas and water to boiling, boil gently 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cover 1 hour.
Add remaining ingredients except the ham. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer 21/2 to 3 hours until peas are very soft. Take out ham bone and add cubed cooked ham to warm though. This is better the next day.
as it takes so long to cook I use 4 pounds of split peas and freeze some for later. I have 2 kettles that each hold a double recipe.
