I've never had black-eyed peas before, so I didn't have any experience in preparing them. I did the recipe in the crockpot as written, but after 12 hours of cooking (half on low and half on high), the black-eyed peas hadn't softened. I think for this type of bean, it would have been better to cook in a pot on the stove top. I'll try it again sometime using the stove top method. I think I would also used canned, crushed tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes, since the fresh tomatoes were out of season and not very tasty. Just my opinion on this.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
