Nichole's Creamed Peas
1 lb. fresh or frozen cream peas
3-4 slices of jalapeno pepper (fresh or pickled)
1/4 a link of sausage; diced (any flavor you prefer -- I used jalapeno flavored)
salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste
Rinse & drain peas in a colander. Place into a medium size sauce pot.
Add in jalapeno slices, sausage, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Fill pot with enough water to cover ingredients. Place tight fitting lid on and cook over high heat until it comes to a full rolling boil. *DO NOT simmer the peas, they MUST boil in order for them to "cream"*
Continue to let peas boil over medium high heat, with lid set very slightly ajar to allow some steam to escape, until peas are tender (about an hour or so.) **Watch your pot though to make sure liquid doesn't boil out. Your heat should not be high enough to allow it to cook that hard but keep your eye on it to be on the safe side.**
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Enjoy!
