Pease pudding hot, pease pudding cold,
Pease pudding in the pot - nine days old.
Some like it hot, some like it cold,
Some like it in the pot - nine days old.

Lucky fellow. It has been many a year since I had a taste of it.

Fred you are as Chris said one lucky man. I can smell that as I type years of my dad making it. The closest I get is pea n Ham soup almost as thick in winter. No one else in the family ever like it so Sue only ever made it once...............LOL although the soup has been damn close as she makes a big pot.:;

I made mine pretty basic, bought a packet of yellow split peas.
covered them with water and let stand overnight.
I was lucky enough to have saved the ham bone from Christmas with some bits of ham still on it.
I cut the bone in half and placed in the pot with the split peas. You can add onion but i didn't.
Brought to the boil and then simmered for about 20mins.
I then gave it a bit of freshly ground black pepper. You can add small amount of salt if desired. ( I didn't )
I scooped off the scum as it rose then prised the ham from the bone. It virtually dropped off.
If you don't have a ham bone you can add a small amount of bacon bits.
Be very careful at this stage to make sure that it doesn't set on. ( Burn )
There should still be a small amount of liquid in there. ( It will look a bit like rice when you've used the absorption method )
a small amount will stick to the bottom of the pan. i transfered mine to another pan at this stage minus the bits stuck to the pan
and blended it using a stick blender.
put aside and let it set, it will look a bit like plastercine, firm but not runny.
Once set divide into containers, it will freeze but for how long i don't know. It wont last long at my place anyway. lol

I gave a bowl to some Aussie friends and got good feedback, even herself liked it.
and i gave a bowl to some Geordies out here on holiday and when i saw them later they said they didn't have any left.
Me being a Mackem the hint was ignored, after all we wouldn't want them to stay, seeing as they are Newcastle supporters lol.
