What I did:

1. Used the Bernardin proportions and switched out the bay leaf for the allspice from Amish
2. Ingredients Used:
   • 2 lbs dried split peas(green)
   • 4 L broth
   • 3 cups carrots(prev.canned, drained)
   • 2 cups chopped onion
   • 2 cups diced cooked ham
   • 1 Tbsp black pepper
   • 2 Tbsp salt
   • 1/2 tsp allspice
3. Method:
   • Boiled dried peas in broth for an hour
   • Add carrots, onion, and seasoning cooking for 30 min
   • Used food processor to whiz it smooth
   • Add ham and reheat so its all hot before jarring up.
4. Processed:
   • 90min at 10lbs

Notes on this batch:

• Green peas instead of yellow. It looks a bit weird but tastes good.
• One jar siphoned but still sealed.
• 2022-12-26 Tastes GREAT. A bit thicker than I expected so a bit more water could be added
