- 1 lb. dried black-eyed peas

- 5 cups water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ cups ham (in large chunks)
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Place the black-eyed peas in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cool water. Check for small rocks and discard any.
- Transfer peas to the pressure cooker, adding the ham hock (or salted pork), diced onion, water, and apple cider vinegar.
- Lock the lid in place and seal the vent.
- Select the PRESSURE COOK function and set the timer for 17 minutes.
