Cookie's Ham Salad.....

Good size chunks of Ham

1 Full Jar of Bread & Butter(Sweet) Pickles...

Mayonnaise.....

If'n y'all got a hand Food Grinder...cut the ham inta chunks that you can put through the food grinder. Grind the ham pieces.

Cut the pickles inta pieces ya can also get inta the Food Grinder and grind all the pickles.

Combine the gound ham with the ground pickles and add Mayonnaise to yur consistancy and taste...add a little of the pickle juice as well to sweeten the salad if'n ya like......Makes great Ham Salad sandwiches.....

Cookie's Homemade Split Pea Soup.....

1 lb of dried Split Peas
1 Meaty Ham Bone
3 Quarts of water
3 tsp’s Kosher Salt
1 tsp Pepper
½ tsp marjoram leaves
2 cups of Chopped Onions
¾ cup of Chopped Carrots

Put the Split Peas inta the water and bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand fer about 1 hour or so….

Add the Ham Bone, salt, pepper, marjoram and chopped onions…cover and simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Let cool….remove Ham Bone and pick off all the good pieces and chunks of ham y’all can find and return them to the soup. Discard the ham bone...or give it to yur hubby fer dinner... or give it to the dog…yur choice.

Add the carrots and simmer until they’re tender…about 20 to 30 minutes or so. Bring soup up to yur desired taste by adding salt, pepper or other spices y'all like.

To serve…y’all can also boil up some hotdogs or Polish Sausage, slice em and float em on the top of the full soup bowl. I also serve the soup over slices of toast…..Cookie....
