joking recipe
Ingredients:
1 pound of bacon, center-cut thick
1 flat roadkill possum (run over by a Chevy preferred; Ford leaves a nasty aftertaste)
salt
pepper
paprika
cinnamon
Preparation:
- Mix the salt, pepper, paprika, and cinnamon in a sandwich bag.
- Wrap the slice of bacon around the possum. Don't worry about removing the fur, the bacon will cover that taste and texture. Do not wash the possum. Washing will remove the roadkill seasoning.
- Preheat the oven to 475°
- Sprinkle the mix in the sandwich bag over the bacon-wrapped possum.
- Loosely wrap the possum in tin foil.
- Place on baking sheet covered with tin foil.
- Put in oven and bake for 6 hours.
- Serve warm.

Candied Bacon
Ingredients:
1 pound of bacon
brown sugar
syrup (maple, butter, etc.)
cinnamon (enough to flavor)
vanilla flavoring (enough to flavor)
Preparation:
- Cut the bacon in half (half-strips)
- mix brown sugar, syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla in a mixing bowl
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Cover a baking sheet with tin foil (easier clean up)
- Layout the bacon strips on the tin foil
- Spread the brown sugar mix over the bacon strips, coat evenly as possible
- Place in oven for about 15 minutes
- Remove from oven and bacon strips off tin foil as soon as possible (the brown sugar mix can act like a glue as it hardens)
- Serve at room temperature
You can play with the ingredients to flavor to your preference. I use a bit more vanilla than cinnamon, and I use butter syrup instead of maple, but either would work. -
Question for the possum eating GA redneck:
How do you fix your Pinkeye Purple Hulls? -
Out the backdoor. Yuck to peas.... -
You ever had any Pinkeye Purple Hulls?
-
In Campbell's Veg beef soup I can eat peas, but not by themselves. They stank up the kitchen... -
You like soup beans and cornbread?
-

If you like soup beans and cornbread you'd like Pinkeye Purple Hulls. Though called field or cow peas, they're actually beans, and cooked right they make the greatest pot likker in the whole wide world to sop cornbread with.

How about a pound of uncooked Redneck hot sausage, (or half sausage, half uncooked chopped chicken) a pound of pre-soaked Great Northern beans, half a head of cabbage, some celery, onions, peppers, tomatoes, & beef broth, all in a crackpot, with some peppercorns, some salt, and a bay leaf or two. Cook on high for 4 hours, and cut it to low, and cook it as long as you want to. The longer it cooks the better it tastes.
Let it cool, and the sausage grease will float to the top, and solidify, and you can just about get it off in one piece. Trust me on this. It's a great pot-luck dish, if you don't tell anyone how you made it. Re-heat it and watch it disappear. -
Sounds great BC, the ingredients could be the beginnings of a good burgoo here in Clantucky. (actually, IMO, burgoo and original 'trail chili' had a lot in common, just different regions so different ingredients (the outside dogs love the skimmed off fat melted over their food, birds eat it at the feeder too, your chickens would eat it)).

....bump... -
I can't say as I'm familiar with the term Pinkeye Purple Hulls, but looking online they look quite familiar. We tend to boil 'em up a bit maybe put some bacon or fatback in to add some taste, and serve with salt.
I love to take either those or a good mess of black-eyes, crumble up some cornbread and scoop the peas out over the bread. Then spoon out some soup over it and have a good meal. That's good eatin'.
Purple Hull Peas Shelling Device -
I ordered that pea sheller from Amazon a couple months ago, of course haven't got to use it yet, but no doubt it'll beat hand shelling the peas.
I've only eaten them once at Lexington Church Sunday potluck, the pastor and his wife native 'jawjons' brought them and I've never forgotten how delicious they were, so I'm growing several varieties (Lord willing) this year, Pinkeye Purple Hull, Brown Crowder, Piggott Family, White Whippoorwill, along with my usual Appalachian landrace greasy beans.
I'm kinda excited about incorporating field peas into my overall gardening scheme as both good eatin' (as green shellies for freezing and canning) and soil building. Don't know why it's taken me so long to get a roundtoit. :)
It's odd, I was talking to my transplanted brother in SC and he was remarking about the purple hull peas his wife had picked up at a farmer's mkt and how delicious they were.
I just figgered everybody down south eats them, like you say, all you need is some cornbread to go along and you've got a fine meal. -
And if you get a warm pone of cornbread and a cold bowl of sweet milk, you've got something better than cereal. :thumbsup:
