Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

8 c Water 1/4 t Pepper
2 1/4 c Split peas, dried 2 Carrots, chopped
1 md Onion 2 Celery, chopped
1 t Salt

1 lb. of dried split peas = approx. 2 1/4 cups

Heat water and peas to boiling. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from
heat and cover. Let sit for 1 hour.

Add ham (whole), onion, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until peas
are tender, about 1 hour.

Remove ham and trim meat from bone. (I usually use 1 lb boneless
smoked ham) Cut ham to 1/2 inch pieces. Stir ham, carrots, and celery
into soup. Cover and simmer until veggies are tender, about 45
minutes.

Like I said, it freezes well and is a very convenient side to a
sandwich or whatever.
