1/2 cup molasses
2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
to taste black pepper

Directions

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently.
7
Cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very tender and the sauce has thickened. Add more water during cooking if the mixture becomes too dry.
