Instructions: Cut slits in washed and dried salt pork.

In medium sized saucepan cover meat with about a quart of cold water.

Boil, covered, until meat is tender and water has evaporated down to about a cupful. Add another quart of cold water to the meat.

Add peas, bacon grease, sugar, onion and hot pepper. Bring to a boil, cover again and lower fire to medium low.

When peas have become slightly tender - about 30 minutes - add salt.

Continue cooking until tender and tasty, usually about 20 minutes.
