Guess u can tell I'm a native TEXAN!! all this talk of purple hull pea's with bacon and onion, cornbreak and fried potatoes are making me hungry!!!

DH is a native northerner... but lived in TX for many years, and never heard of them....

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?

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.
