WHAT'S FOR LUNCH? NEW YEAR'S DAY SPICY BLACK EYED PEAS in slow cooker

Another year's come and gone. 

Because of tradition (why we eat black eyed peas on New Year's Day), 

I had to make something with black eyed peas again. 

SPICY BLACK EYED PEAS

10 servings

6 C water

1 cube chicken or vegetable bouillon

1 lb dried black eyed peas, rinsed

1 diced onion (I used frozen whole pearl onions)

2 cloves minced garlic

1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and diced
1 can petite diced tomatoes

1 jalapeno, seeded and minced

12 oz diced ham

1/2 t cayenne pepper

1 1/2 t cumin

salt, to taste

1 t pepper

Pour water in slow cooker, add bouillon cube and stir to dissolve.

Add rest of ingredients; stir to blend. 

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours (or high for 3-4 hours) until beans are tender.

This is before it was cooked, just so I could get a picture up and posted.
