This is one of my favorite recipes. The recipe for canning is in this blog post.

I’ve been wanting this for several weeks and we’ve been having other things. I brought a jar upstairs at least two weeks ago. Today we’re having leftovers from Christmas and I was thinking tomorrow I can cook a pot of rice and pop open a jar of beans, sausage and ground beef and make a pot of cornbread.
But then I started thinking .. what if I make a big pot of beans, sausage and ground beef for New Year’s day. The sausage is pork, I could make coleslaw (which I almost always serve with this), and cornbread. Can red beans be substituted for black eyed peas on New Year’s Day? Probably shouldn’t. The black eyed peas are for luck . . I’m not risking skipping the black eyed peas. 🙂
Here’s what I’m going to do. For New Year’s, I’ll bake a ham, fix black eyed peas and greens, cabbage with sausage, and cornbread. I know we’re supposed to have collards with the black eyed peas. I have canned collards but I also have freeze dried sweet potato leaves which I think would be great with the black eyed peas.
Then, on January 2, the guys are going to be here installing the radon mitigation system. I can make a big pot of beans, ground beef and sausage and feed them. That’s a good idea, don’t you think?

Sounds great to me! I will have the ham, blackeyed peas and cornbread. I think I am going to do a banana pudding for Pat. I always use Splenda and it turns out great! I use the recipe for vanilla pudding in the red checked cookbook from Better Homes and Gardens.

I know the workers will think it’s a great idea!

That all sounds delicious!
