I thought fava beans are the big brown flatish ones, or maybe those are the mature ones. Are they the same? I love discovering different foods. This does sound like a good recipe. I have a bag of fava beans someplace.

Are these purple hull PEAS? or BEANS? There are cranberry beans which have speckled hulls. And purpleish yard-long beans.
When you make the jelly do you make it with the hulls also, same way you would make grape jelly including a lot of twigs and unripe grapes?

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.
Love them! Your supper sounded so good! Had I of seen it earlier I would have brought the fried tators, green onions & cornbread. Yummmmmmm My kind of comfort food.
