Purple Hull Peas are a lot like black eyed peas. We buy ours fresh and already shelled from a roadside farm stand in East Texas. We keep them in a cooler for our four hour trip back home. I put them in the fridge and make this ASAP usually the next day. I got this recipe from purplehull.com. but I use half the sugar and half the salt that the original had. We love the healthier version and hope you will too.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Thanks for the basic guidelines for cooking purple hull peas! I knew they were like black eyed peas, but I wasn't quite sure how to prepare them. Anyhow, I did everything as directed, but after about 45 minutes the peas were quite soft! So, I took them off the heat and served them that way. I think if I would've left them the full 90 minutes they would've been mush! Anyhow, they were great, thanks again.
