Around Here, Everybody Knows This One.. || Canning Peas & A Country Supper || June 2026

Today we're putting a little food by and making one of those suppers that folks around here have known for generations.

The day starts with canning fresh garden peas while they're at their peak. Then we head out to pull old cabbage from the garden to feed the pigs before coming back to the kitchen to fix a country supper of backbone, hog jowl, and peas & dumplings.

If you grew up in this part of the country, peas & dumplings probably needs no introduction. But for many folks, it's a dish they've never heard of. Simple ingredients, a little time, and a recipe passed from one generation to the next.
