Pease Pudding

LOL!! Okay Rosa asked about Pea pudding or I should have written pease pudding is made with dried yellow split peas which has been soaked overnight before cooking. My mum used to cook it in with a piece of ham/gammon? The peas were wrapped in a double layer of muslin(cheese/butter cloth) with an onion so they wouldn't go out into the liquid. When it was cooked it was cooled then plopped out into a dish and mashed up so it was pate texture and it was served as a side dish to the cooked ham. Cold they both were delicious in a sandwich but I like the peas on their own too. It's a north England favourite.

I can't seem to ever get it right when I try to make it. It never tastes the same as when my ma used to make it.

Maybe I'll have to have another go and post a picture of the end result. :-))
