Many ways. I personally prefer green shellies to dry peas. Since you have purple hulls,which have a built in indicator, You pick them for green shellies when the hulls turn purple. I like to break a few of the tender green pods into the pot as snaps. I season with butter or Margarine but lots of folks do use bacon. I do use slab bacon or hog jowl for dry peas. If you prefer dry peas just let the pods dry on the vine.
