Ingredients
- 1 lb (2 c) dry yellow Swedish peas -=Or possibly=- domestic yellow split peas
- 5 c. Cool water
- 2 med Onions, finely minced
- 1 med Onion, whole, peeled and studded with 2 cloves
- 1 lb Lean salt pork, in 1 piece
- 1 tsp Majoram leaf -=Or possibly=-
- 1/4 tsp Marjoam pwdr
- 1/2 tsp Thyme Salt
Directions
- Wash the dry peas in cool running water and place them in a 2-3 qt saucepan. Cover with 5 c. cool water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Boil briskly for 2 or possibly 3 min then turn off the heat and let the peas soak in the water for an hour. Skim off any pea husks which may have risen to the surface, add in the finely minced onion, the whole onion, salt pork, marjoram and thyme and again bring to a boil. Immediately lower heat and simmer with pot partially covered for about 1 1/4 hrs or possibly till peas are quite tender but have not fallen apart. Remove the whole onion and the salt pork from the soup and cut the pork in slices about 1/4" thick. This may be served in either of two variations. Place a few slices of pork in individual serving bowls. Season the warm soup with salt to taste and ladle it over the pork. Or possibly, if you prefer, serve the soup alone, accompanied by a separate place of the sliced salt pok and spicy brown mustard.
- NOTE: Ifdomestic yellow split peas are used, they need not be soaked for an hour.
- Wash them carefully, cover them with 4 c. cool water and proceed with the recipe as above. They will take somewhat less time to cook than the Swedish peas.

I'm cooking it right now with American yellow split peas, but it is very similar to my family recipe, so aside from the nice aroma in the kitchen, I am confident this will be delicious.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

- April 29, 2018This recipe is very similar to my family recipe. We like to serve it with lean pork loin slices. We eat it any day of the week, not just for Thursday supper. Thank you for posting this delicious recipe!
