Some Kitchen Kinks: Dried

Puree of Dried or Split Peas.- Soak one quart of dried peas over night and follow the directions for purée of dried beans.

Sugar Peas. The green pods of the sugar pea may be prepared like string beans.

Gather the pods while the seeds are still very small. String them like beans and cut into two or three lengths. Cover with boiling water and boil gently until tender. If they are young and fresh they will cook in twenty-five or thirty minutes.

Pour off some of the water, which will serve for soup. Season with salt and butter and serve at once. When the pods are fresh and tender they have an exquisite flavor. When the seeds have grown large and the pods become tough they may be shelled and cooked like any other variety of peas.
