Where in East Texas? My grandparents lived in Center. There are mahaws growing wild up there - my grandmother used to go out and pick them and make jelly. It is very tart and fruity tasting. Another great jelly is prickly pear jelly. The Mexicans call prickly pears "tunas" (nothing to do with tuna fish!). That is my favorite, I think.

I live in Palestine, Tx. I have heard they grow wild along the river banks.

I have heard the same thing about purple hull peas being food for cows, guess those cows get to eat really well :thumbup: .
Sounds like a fantastic dinner. Fresh tomatoes, squash and peas.
What was it they use to say on Hee Haw, YUM YUM.

I told someone about my purchase and they replied that they thought purple hull peas were cow feed. Obviously they didn't grow up around here.
