 Ingredients List

  • 2 1/4 cups dried split peas
  • 1 1/2 pounds ham bone

Place the peas in a large pot, cover with water by 2 inches and soak overnight. Drain the peas and set aside.

Once peas are soaked, add ham, onion, salt, pepper, marjoram and bay leaf. Cover, bring to boil and then simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
