Julie,

Split pea soup is DH's favorite and I'd recalled the post you did a month or more ago.

Could you elaborate on the ingredient quantities, especially bag size (net weights) for the hash browns, carrots, and split peas so I can get the proportions correct?

BTW - we spend a few weeks RVing in the Freeport, Palmyra, and Rangeley areas each year - all the way from Texas. Tried to find a store that carried Wicked Good lump so we could bring some back, but no luck. Any recommendations for next summer?

Thanks,

Michelle

    Hi Michelle,
    I am not sure of the bag sizes our grocery only carries the one size of each thing I use in this so???
    One left over ham bone with most of the meat cut off into bite size pieces.
    one bag shredded carrots.
    one bag country style hash browns.
    two onions chopped.
    two bags of dried split peas.
    one or two bay leaves
    I litterly just dump everything in my large dutch oven and cover with water. No soaking or anything. It goes right on the egg at 300 indirect set up and cames off in about 3 hours thick, bubbling and hot. I did have to add a little more water as it was very thick.

    Thanks, Julie. Would you guess those are 1 pound bags of beans? I buy my beans, peas, etc. in bulk so I'll have to weigh out the amount for the recipe.

    DH has already bought the biggest ham he could find in anticipation of a vat of split pea soup the day after Christmas :)

    We tried a couple of the WGC suppliers on the list last summer, can't recall which but they were both within a half hour of Freeport where we were camping at the time. The gal at one of them just looked at us like we had two heads. I'm hoping we can hook up with Julie's source since she obviously would be ensuring a fresh rotation of stock B)

    Yes I would say 1 pounders would be perfect. I usually have them bulk too and scoop out till it looks right. Used the bags that one time as I forgot them at home and had to run to the store and buy them. and just used that in the recipie as that is what most would have.
    My lump is private stock B) LOL we buy it by the pallet! :whistle: if Pete is close when you come through check with him. if you do get up our way and ever needed it just yell. we always have plenty at the studio and home and I could make sure I had an unopened bag for you :)
