D & W, good job! I think mature, as you are canning, but not dry black eye peas taste better than dry black eye peas. Folks may be wondering where they can buy black eye peas for planting and the answer is, buy a bag of dry black eye peas at the grocery store and plant them. They will grow and produce the fresh, mature, but still not dry peas as you showed in this video. OAG
Yes, we did buy a bag at the grocery store and planted them. We didn't get a clip of the planting. We will be bringing this tip out on Saturday night. They taste a lot better fresh and canned than dried peas. Thanks
Great Video, awesome, man the memories, I can see my Mom and sisters canning like it was yesterday, ate beans almost every day of my life, every kind until I left home at 18. I said I would never eat another bean, I believe I could eat them every day now, especially fresh beans. Love'em
When I was a kid I would not eat black eyed peas. But once I got older I found that I loved them. I reckon a lot of people are like that. God Bless Y'all.
It was tradition for us to have them on New Years, for good luck 🍀 I’m getting mine canned up and I’m going to make everybody eat them because 2021....well we need some luck :)
Love all them black eyes, purple hull, zipper, and cream 40 peas.. I always put a few snaps in with the peas when canning them, adds a little bit more flavor. Thanks for the video, blessings
Ive been watching your canning playlist this rainy morning. I've never grown black eyed peas and didn't realize they were green prior to canning. LOL. Thanks for sharing.
had to come back and watch this & show momma! Next year she wants me to add black eye peas to what I can, I've been trying to slowly grow & can everything my grandma used to. Definitely adding black eye peas - makes me hungry for peas & cornbread just watching this!!!! Thank You!!!
Hi Wanda and Danny. It`s a good job. I also love to canning everything that I have raised. True peas and beans this year I have not planted. I love watching how Wanda canning. Recipe salad of cucumbers when finely mode and fry with onions - very tasty. I don `t know this recipe.
Yum!! Do you ever put any jalapenos in with them when you can? I have eaten black-eyed peas so long with pepper that I almost can't eat them any other way. Black-eyed peas with onion, jalapenos and some corn bread. Now I'm hungry!! Looking good as always, Danny and Wanda!
I love black eyed peas! Most people in Idaho don't know what you're talking about. I may try to grow some next year; no one in the family eats them but me.
On my list for next year. I did zipper peas this time around in my little BTE. Love black-eyed peas and cornbread with a little pickled peach juice for some extra kick :)
You're welcome. I'm also on the hunt for speckled butterbeans. No seed company has them that I have found. A lady in Fla advertised in a gardening forum but was way to pricey for me. If by chance you have any maybe we can do a seed swap?
Question... My kidney beans doing great on the plants but I want them dried, do I just leave them on the vine as long as possible to start the drying process before I pick them?
Thanks for the video! Wanda, did you de-bubble after adding the water later? I'm glad you used a wooden chopping board to cool your quarts. I usually use a towel and am addicted to that "plinking" sound. That and a baby's laughter always makes me smile!
Have you ever canned fresh black eyed peas in the pod? My friend used to can them this way but he is no longer with us and his daughter doesn't have the recipe. Any help you could offer would be most appreciated. Thanks, Judy
Whaaat???? No chunks of ham in with the peas? Hmmm, I'm wondering if ya'll are really from the south? Nice job, Wanda. I liked to see that the peas turned color once they were canned. Good to know in the future.
We add seasonings when we heat them. When you can raw pack the water turns dark. If you blanche them for 3 minutes, then pack them and add fresh hot water, they don't turn as brown. Thanks
Danny, i understand that y'all started your peas with just a bag of store bought. How did you plant them? Did you start them first or straight in the ground? Thanks
Deep South Homestead been watching your videos great info and love learning from you guys. Did you say you used store bought peas and just used them did you have to dry them out first. Thanks
I recently ordered some black eyed peas from a local farmer but they haven't come in yet. I was planning on canning them but they may not be ready before I'm scheduled to be out of town for a couple of weeks. My question is this, can they be kept in the freezer, unshelled, until I get back home to shell and can them? Thanks, Brandi
After shelling and NOT washing; Put in a pillow case. Tie the end in a knot. They do not freezer burn. When you want peas, pull out a mess and tie your pillow case back. Rinse peas and cook as if they were fresh off the plant. Learned this from a farmer when I was about 6 years old when he was telling my Mother. Have done them this way my whole life.
It is so hot and his shoulders are giving him trouble. The weight of them hanging on his shoulders cause pain. He will have them on most of the time. Just trying to stay cool! Thanks

rg1599 it’s possible I am wrong but I think if you add bacon you have to pressure can for 75 minutes instead of 35. Probably better to add onions, bacon etc. later.
