List of Ingredients




1 pound ground pork, pork sausage (I use ham or an extra meaty ham bone)
6 cups water
2 cups dry green or yellow split peas
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 t. salt
1 t. dried marjoram, crushed
1/4 t. pepper

Recipe



In a large saucepan cook ground pork or sausage till browned. Drain, reserving 2 T. fat in pan. Add water.

Rinse split peas; add to meat mixture. Stir in potatoes, onion, celery, salt, marjoram, and pepper. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or till split peas are tender.

To make in crock-pot: Transfer meat to crock-pot. Stir in water, peas, potatoes, onion, celery, salt, marjoram, and pepper. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours.
