Baked Blackeye Peas

Instructions

1. 1

   Sort through the beans to remove bad ones and dirt, then rinse well. Put them into a pot with enough water to cover them about four inches deep, and bring to a light boil. Boil for one hour.

2. 2

   Drain the beans well and put them into a baking dish with all the other ingredients. Mix well.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bring two cups of water to a boil. Top the beans with just enough boiling water to just barely cover them.

4. 4

   Put the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for three hours. Check it every hour, stirring and adding a little more water if the beans seems to be getting dry.
